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 believed 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 cock 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
