Another One Bites the Dust
Queen %2B Paul Rodgers Lyrics

Steve walks wearily down the street
The singer of the story, Steve, is walking down the street with a tired pace.

The brim pulled way down low
Steve is wearing his hat low, which is a sign of his low spirits.

Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
Steve is the only person walking on that street, and the only sounds he hears are the sounds of his footsteps.

Machine guns ready to go
The artist is prepared for whatever comes his way and is ready to defend himself with deadly force.

Are you ready, are you ready for this
The singer asks the listener if they are prepared for what is to come. He is about to describe a tough situation.

Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
The singer wonders if the listener is on the edge of their seat, excited for what's to come or waiting in suspense for the following information.

Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Bullets are fired out of a door, adding to the tense situation in the story.

To the sound of the beat, yeah
The gunfire occurs in time with the song's beat, adding to the tension and rhythm of the track.

Another one bites the dust
Someone else has fallen to their death or has been shot in the story.

And another one gone, and another one gone
The artist of the story keeps taking out his or her enemies one by one.

Hey, I'm gonna get you too
The singer of the song aims to get the listener involved in the story and to keep them engaged in his thrilling account.

How do you think I'm gonna get along
The singer wonders how he'll survive without the person who left him and took everything he had.

Without you when you're gone
The person who left the singer is no longer with him.

You took me for everything that I had
The person who left the singer took everything he had, leaving him with nothing.

And kicked me out on my own
The singer was left to fend for himself outside without any support.

Are you happy, are you satisfied
The singer wonders if the person who left him is happy in their new life without him.

How long can you stand the heat
The singer asks how long the person who left him can live with the guilt of what they have done.

Look out
The singer warns his enemies to be careful as he is ready for them.

Yeah, yeah
The crowd is cheering and responding positively to the singer's performance.

Sing yeah, yeah
The crowd is invited to sing along with the song's chorus.

There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
The singer warns that there are many ways to hurt someone.

And bring him to the ground
One of the ways to hurt a man is to make him hit rock bottom.

You can beat him, you can cheat him
The singer mentions two of the many ways one can hurt someone, by being physically and emotionally abusive, stealing or deceiving them.

You can treat him bad and leave him when he's down
One of the most hurtful things you can do to someone is to treat them poorly and abandon them when they are at their lowest point.

But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
The singer of the story is ready to face whatever comes his way and to defend himself against anyone who tries to hurt him.

I'm standing on my own two feet
The singer has grown stronger and is now standing up for himself after being mistreated.

Repeating to the sound of the beat
The singer repeats the song's chorus, emphasizing the message that another person has fallen.

Hey, hey
The singer shouts out, signaling that he remains vigilant.

Ooh, shoot it out now
The singer uses language that suggests a great intensity, urging his enemies to come at him.

Good evening beautiful Sheffield folks, good evening Yorkshire. Thank you for coming.
