Shotdown
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.
Well, I heard the news, get it down, get it down in black and white
Sensation fills the headlines, Coast To Coast
And with a single step, you make the move
Standing face to face (face to face) face to face (face to face)
And when you know there's nothing left to lose (left to lose)
You got to make the choice (make the choice) makes the choice
Oooh...You've gotten shot down, shot down, shot down
Oooh...And you're shot down, shot down, shot down
Gone for answers there, the assassin eyes can see the waste
Inside the criminal mind, behind the open doors and empty space
Mmmm, you're shaking hands, you hold the line, (you hold the line)
And you hold the line, (you hold the line)
You hold the line, (you hold the line)
And any way you turn, you're still the same (you're still the same)
You know you've got to run (You've got to run)
You've got to run (You've got to run)
Oooh...And now I'm shot down, shot down, shot down
Oooh...And you're shot down, shot down, shot down
And you're shot down, shot down, shot down...
And you're shot down, shot down, shot down...
And you're shot down, shot down, shot down...
And you're shot down, shot down, shot down...
