Shoot and Run
Josef Salvat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When she was in, I gave her a gun
And said SHOOT AND RUN
It's a job well done,
It's a job well done
If you speak its language,
It will do the rest
A little too soon she put it to the test
She put it to the test

Oh, she doesn't know much,
But she knows this
Life's too short not to take risks
Oh, she steals herself and she goes for luck
She pulls the trigger and lifts it up!

Oh, oh live it up,
Oh, oh, oh live it up
Oh, oh live it up,
Oh, oh

Happy hunter, ripe fresh kill
On to the next one, gotta chase the thrill
You gotta chase the thrill
If you wanna have fun you gotta SHOOT AND RUN
Leave it fleeted all behind, behind, behind, behind!

Oh, she doesn't know much,
But she knows this
Life's too short not to take risks
Oh, she steals herself and she doesn't give a fuck
She pulls the trigger and lives it up

Oh, oh live it up,
Oh, oh, oh live it up
Oh, oh live it up,
Oh, oh.

She SHOOTS AND RUNS,
She SHOOTS AND RUNS,
She SHOOTS AND RUNS,
She SHOOTS AND RUNS,
She SHOOTS AND RUNS,
She SHOOTS and,
She SHOOTS and,
She SHOOTS and she

Oh, oh, oh, oh,
She SHOOTS AND SHE RUNS
She SHOOTS AND SHE RUNS
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
She SHOOTS AND SHE RUNS
She SHOOTS AND SHE RUNS

Oh, oh live it up,
Oh, oh, oh live it up
Oh, oh live it up,
Oh, oh

She SHOOTS AND RUNS
She SHOOTS AND RUNS
She SHOOTS AND RUNS
She SHOOTS AND RUNS
She SHOOTS AND RUNS
She loves it, she loves it, she loves it




She loves it, she loves it, she loves it
She loves it, she loves it, she loves it
