Shoot Shoot
Dio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know the feeling
All alone you back to the wall
And all the doorways
Are starting to close in front of you

No confusion
Oh no, it came in a spell
Found it in a wishing well

It's a matter of mind
You know you can be free forever
So the next time someone
Points a gun at you

Say shoot shoot
I don't care
Shoot shoot

Hey someone
If your chains are heavy for you
Hey someone
Let it rain
While I show you the way
This could be your lucky day

It's a matter of mind
You know you can be free forever
So the next time someone
Points a gun at you say

Shoot shoot
I don't care
Shoot shoot
Shoot shoot
Anywhere
Shoot shoot

It's a matter of mind
You know you can be free forever
So the next time someone
Points a gun at you sa
Shoot shoot
I don't care
Shoot shoot
Shoot shoot




Anywhere
Shoot shoot
