Skid Row — Big Guns Live at the Marquee Westminster CA 4/28/89

[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 [Bridge] I'm doing time like a backseat Romeo Play solitaire with my hands in the air Another night and no bullets to spare [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, down, down in flames Big guns Big guns Look at those big guns Big guns Big guns Big guns She really really got the big guns She shot me down in flames [Outro] Is it loud enough for you? Listen, man, we've been in, uh We've been in California now for about a week and, uh It's the first time we've ever been out here And I'd like to take this opportunity To thank the people of southern California for the first sunburn of 1989, man This next song, we're gonna slow it down just a little bit And give you a song It's about a boy who got in trouble with the law
