Kalashnikov by Tom Bem Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lone soldier, cold eyes
No sight for love of any kind
Call me veteran of war
Cause I've learnt be stronger than before
But whatever doesn't kill you
Whatever doesn't kill you will only make you wish it had
[Chorus]
Kalashnikov
She lines them up, lines them up to
Kalashnikov
Shoot them down, leave them there when she's through
Kalashnikov
And I know what I'm running from now
Bang bang from the barrel of Kalashnikov
Bang bang from the barrel of Kalashnikov
Bang bang from the barrel of Kalashnikov
And even though I come in peace
Her bullets rain down on me
[Verse 2]
Bullet proof chest
Cause I'm cynically set to ignore the interest of love at any depth
But from one day to the next I let my guard down and I get hi. The bullet fits and now I'm sick
I've been infected by her shot and I can't ignore it
She's pierced my heart and that's how this starts
I'm in love with my very own Kalashnikov
Kalashnikov
I'm in love with my very own...
[Chorus]
Kalashnikov
She lines them up, lines them up to
Kalashnikov
Shoot them down, leave them there when she's through
Kalashnikov
And I know what I'm running from now
Bang bang from the barrel of Kalashnikov
Bang bang from the barrel of Kalashnikov
Bang bang from the barrel of Kalashnikov
And even though I come in peace
Her bullets rain down on me
[Bridge]
I didn't come here for war
My hands raised, my heart sore
White flag but you still go off
I can't even describe this
But I'm not willing to fight it
I surrender, Kalashnikov
I'm in her firing line
Her target set in sight
No running from the firing squad
As she rains down on me tonight
(Kalashnikov)
(Bang bang from the barrel of Kalashnikov)
Rains down on me tonight
(Bang bang from the barrel of Kalashnikov)
Rains down on me tonight
And even though I come in peace
Her bullets rain down on me
[Chorus]
Kalashnikov
She lines them up, lines them up to
(Rains down on me tonight)
Kalashnikov
Shoot them down, leave them there when she's through
(Rains down on me tonight)
Kalashnikov
And I know what I'm running from now
Bang bang from the barrel of Kalashnikov
Bang bang from the barrel of Kalashnikov
Bang bang from the barrel of Kalashnikov
And even though I come in peace
Her bullets rain down on me
[Instrumental outro]
Lone soldier, cold eyes
No sight for love of any kind
Call me veteran of war
Cause I've learnt be stronger than before
But whatever doesn't kill you
Whatever doesn't kill you will only make you wish it had
[Chorus]
Kalashnikov
She lines them up, lines them up to
Kalashnikov
Shoot them down, leave them there when she's through
Kalashnikov
And I know what I'm running from now
Bang bang from the barrel of Kalashnikov
Bang bang from the barrel of Kalashnikov
Bang bang from the barrel of Kalashnikov
And even though I come in peace
Her bullets rain down on me
[Verse 2]
Bullet proof chest
Cause I'm cynically set to ignore the interest of love at any depth
But from one day to the next I let my guard down and I get hi. The bullet fits and now I'm sick

She's pierced my heart and that's how this starts
I'm in love with my very own Kalashnikov
Kalashnikov
I'm in love with my very own...
[Chorus]
Kalashnikov

Kalashnikov
Shoot them down, leave them there when she's through
Kalashnikov
And I know what I'm running from now

Bang bang from the barrel of Kalashnikov
Bang bang from the barrel of Kalashnikov
Bang bang from the barrel of Kalashnikov
And even though I come in peace
Her bullets rain down on me
