Lyrics
Elephant Gun
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.
Every inch of you looks like a lady
So don't get caught here in the city at nite
And if you wanna take a chance and go down crazy
I sell protection for a price
(pre-chorus)
Well, call it love or call it murder
This is the crime of the century
No, don't point that thing on me
(chorus)
All in all my aim is better
Shots as clean as a mean goal-getter
A bad man on the run
I'm gonna be your dark stranger
Contact man 'tween you and danger
I'll protect you baby with my elephant gun
Every minute counts and you play both sides of the law
Mm, these dangorous days
Mean nine lives doin' anything at all
A lot of folks been blown away
(pre-chorus)
(chorus)
Bang!
(pre-chorus)
Don't try to use that thing on me
