Armed and Dangerous
Airbourne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't control myself, know what I mean?
I had one too many pills; now I'm high on sextasy
Yeah, I'm a supercharged, hot-blooded sex machine
Armed and dangerous
Better hold on tight
I'm armed and dangerous
Armed and dangerous
Oh, feel my snake bite, yeah
I'm armed and dangerous
Better hold on tight, all right
I'm just checking her oil and stirring up her cream
Bringing her to the boil, making her jump and scream
Say, the longer I go, honey, the longer I get
And if I run out of ammo, I just use my bayonet
Armed and dangerous
Better hold on tight
I'm armed and dangerous
All through the night
Armed and dangerous
Oh, feel my snake bite, yeah
I'm armed and dangerous
Better hold on tight, all right, all right
I'm armed and dangerous
I'm armed and dangerous
I'm armed and dangerous
Like a bullet, like a bomb I'll take you on
Armed and dangerous
Better hold on tight
I'm armed and dangerous
All through the night
Armed and dangerous
Oh, feel my snake bite, yeah
I'm armed and dangerous
Better hold on tight, all right
'Cause I'm armed
I'm armed, I said, I'm armed
I said, I'm armed and dangerous, all right
Armed and dangerous
Better hold on tight
I'm armed and dangerous
All through the night
Armed and dangerous
Oh, feel my snake bite
I'm armed and dangerous
All through the night, all right
I'm armed and dangerous
I'm armed and dangerous
Sextasy
I'm armed and dangerous
I'm gonna give to you
I'm armed and dangerous
All through the night
