I said,Shotgun shoot em for he runs now
Do the jerk baby
Do the jerk now
Hey!

Put on your red dress
And then you go downtown now
I said buy yourself a shotgun now
We're gonna break it down baby now
We're gonna load it up baby now
And then you shoot him for he runs now

I said,Shotgun shoot em for he runs now
Do the jerk baby
Do the jerk now
Hey!

[Instrumental sax]

I said,Shotgun shoot em for he runs now
Do the jerk baby
Do the jerk now
Hey!

Put on your high heels shoes
I said we're goin' down here listen to em play blues
We're gonna dig potatoes
We're gonna pick tomatoes

I said,Shotgun shoot em for he runs now
Do the jerk baby
Do the jerk now
Hey!

I said it's Twine Time
I said it's Twine Time
I said it's Twine Time
Hey!

There was a kid so low, he couldn't stand up
No money, no respect and too much bad luck
Desperation had gotten to him at last
It was dark
Dark alley and a shot gun blast
And I knew a man everyone thought
Was out of his mind
He had a cane and seemed to be around all the time
And it's a shame, when a car rolls past
It was dark
Dark alley and a shot gun blast
Shotgun - no one ever thinks about it
Until your out of your head

Get it together
Thing is jumpin'
I wanna see your
Bullets pumpin'

Shotgun

Itchy finger
On the trigger
Got to make the
Shooter bigger

Shotgun

shotgun blast spreads like dawning
rip me open feel it coming
bowing down to my addiction
never meant to go so willing
thought i found the something better
terminally hope it's crashing
laughing and crashing
its laughing i'm crashing

sorry that i left your language
found a place of my opinion
galvanized the oversight by
pissing on your whole philosophy
mine is just the easy target
mine is just the carnal weakness
wishing for something
and something been wishing

how long is this going to take us
going on
is this going to take us on
how long is this gonna take us on

you could be the innocent
and i could play the unwashed savior
counting on cancer to teach us to live
tired of all the vacillations
halcion come take me under
laughing and crashing
we're laughing i'm crashing

how long is this gonna take us
going on
is this gonna take us
how long is this gonna take us on

shotgun blast spreads like dawning
