Open Fire
Gotthard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get ready to burn on my side
Ready to mess with life
Cold as ice, sacrifice
Do you really want me for the night

Gotta turn your mind down under
Get down on your knees
A slice of love babe
I see is that what you want
Want to make out of me

Now you're riding on my trail
Hungry little woman
Gotta shoot a rockin' man
If you wanna touch my soul
It takes a whole lot more
Ain't gonna say it again

Open fire
Open fire

Brown eyed strolling woman
I wonder if you bite
Deep inside, dynamite
Ready to burn
In the heat of the night

Get the gun and keep it loaded
Your big eyes open wide
Livin' on a dare, a hit and run




Better beware
'Cause the fight has just begun
