Lyrics
Shot Out Of A Cannon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Even with the lights and the power down
Even when the earth shakes and breaks your crown
Even if the cops run us out of town
I wouldn't care
And when you speak, but you make no sound
Flying like a kite on the battleground
I'll be ready
Hold me steady when we travel through the air
Shot out of a cannon
I'm defying gravity
And you're the drug that's keeping me from landing, yeah
We could fall or we could fly
Or we could borrow winds of tighter standing, yeah
Catapult our destiny
Tonight we're leaving for another planet, planet
Shot out of a cannon, cannon
Shot out of a cannon
We could tell the world that we disappeared
We could tell the way out was way up here
Would could tell the truth even if no one would ever care
'Cause I am ready
Hold me steady
We can travel through the air
Shot out of a cannon
I'm defying gravity
And you're the drug that's keeping me from landing, yeah
We could fall or we could fly
Or we could borrow winds of tighter standing, yeah
Catapult our destiny
Tonight we're leaving for another planet, planet
Shot out of a cannon, cannon
Shot out of a cannon
Shot out of a cannon
In the dark, in the dark, in the dead of night
You got a heart, got a heart like a neon sign
In the dark, in the dark, when I'm flying blind
You got a heart like a neon sign
It's true
Shot out of a cannon
I'm defying gravity
And you're the drug that's keeping me from landing, yeah
Catapult our destiny
Tonight we're leaving for another planet, planet
Shot out of a cannon, cannon
Shot out of a cannon
Shot out of a
Shot out of a, shot out of a cannon, cannon
Shot out of a cannon
