The Shoot Down, Shot Up Boogie
Adrielle
We find ourselves running	1
Down the streets of Risk	2
And we like taking bets	3
Who can make it to the end?	4

So take this moment	5
I’ll only tell you once	6
We can’t keep this up	7
Sooner or later	8

Our time will come	9

We play hide and seek	10
and always sneak a peek	11
It turns sour	12
Someone’s got a gun	13
Run for our lives	14
Are we having fun yet?	15

If my memory	16
Has served me right	17
How many have died?	18
We almost joined them	19

This is no game	20
We’ve got to get out	21
Karma is a bitch	22
Sooner or later	23

Our time will come	24

We play hide and seek	25
and always sneak a peek	26
It turns sour	27
Someone’s got a gun	28
Run for our lives	29
Are we having fun yet?	30

This is	31
The Shoot Down, Shot Up Boogie	32
Where we move our legs	33
As fast as we can	34
It may look like circles	35
But it’s all about dodging death	36
And sooner or later	37

Our time will come	38

Shoot down	39
Shot up	40
Shoot down	41
Shot up	42

Everybody boogie	43

Our time will come	44

Karma, that bitch	45

Our time will come	46
