89) Skid Row

[Intro]
Come on, southern California

[Verse 1]
She was a, a ballerina on a subway train
Stiletto heels and a candy cane
Looked like a number on a station wall
Hot on the tail of a social call
As I wet my lips I thought I had it made
Like Valentino with a hand grenade
As I made my move with my libido on
She circled once and then she dropped the bomb

[Chorus]
She got the big guns pointed at my heart
Bang, bang, shooting like a firing squad
Big guns, she blew me away
I'm down in flames

[Verse 2]
I met a sidewalk preacher on a roller skate
He said he had the key to Heaven's gate
I'll wait for the movie 'cause I been there before
That life is a battle and love is war

[Chorus]
She got the big guns pointed at my heart
Bang, bang, shooting like a firing squad, said
Big guns took me by surprise
She got my lovin' reachin' for the sky
She got the big guns pointed at my heart
Bang, bang, shooting like a firing squad, I said
Big guns, she blew me away
I'm down in flames
