The Waterboys - Love Will Shoot You Down lyrics

Ain't you hard to beat After all this time, Still standing on your feet – somehow - Way beyond your prime? Well, love will shoot you down, will shoot you down Love will shoot you down, will shoot you down You believe you were The One But it was only grace And when your hour is done And somebody takes your place Love will shoot you down, will shoot you down Love will shoot you down, will shoot you down Time, old Time, King Time is moving back and forth Like a backlit dancer on a pale white horse On a mad racecourse In a hungry land You will be forced To play your secret hand And love will shoot you down, will shoot you down Love will shoot you down, will shoot you down Fate is driving like a vigilante through the crowd, Hot coals on his feet, bullets on his brow Power will spit you out Grief will leave you stunned A camera will pick you out A thief will co*k the gun And love will shoot you down, will shoot you down Love will shoot you down, will shoot you down Time, old Time, King Time is moving back and forth Like a backlit dancer on a pale white horse
