The Technicolors
Shotgun Betty
[Verse 1]
Please, baby please, I can't tell you to stop
Don't let a twisted tongue tell you that you're tyin' me up
I said no, sister, no, it's not the way I was taught
I've come a long way down to reach the end of the top
[Pre-Chorus]
For such a lonely gun, for such a lonely gun
You'd think you would have won
For such a lonely gun, for such a lonely gun
You'd think you would have won
You'd think you would have won
You'd think you...
[Chorus]
I took every last chance to stand alone
You're just another last glance for show
I didn't write the last one to tell you off
But I had to let you know, you know...
Shotgun Betty gonna take you out tonight
[Verse 2]
So lost, I'm so lost, I can't charm it out
Your words are burnin' through the lungs until I can't hear a sound
I said please, baby, please, am I a shot at the stars?
Or just a double-eagle soul in an economy car?
[Pre-Chorus]
For such a lonely gun, for such a lonely gun
You'd think you would have won
For such a lonely gun, you're such a lonely gun
You're such a lonely girl, you're such a lonely girl
You're such a...
[Chorus]
I took every last chance to stand alone
You're just another last glance for show
I didn't write the last one to tell you off
But I had to let you go
I'm a broken satellite, and I just can't tell you no, you know...
Shotgun Betty gonna take you out tonight
[Bridge]
Don't start draggin' me down, no; I've got a lot to say
Please don't drag me down, no - for God's sakes, not today...
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I took every last chance to stand alone
You're just another last glance for show
I didn't write the last one to tell you off
But I had to let you know
You know, you know, you know, you know
I had to let you know, you know...
Shotgun Betty gonna take you out tonight
