Got Shot Down
Shades Apart
Sonic Boom (2001)

stitched up like a wounded soldier
rain falls on my parade
any time i get the nerve to ask her
it’s two heartbeats too late
guys in shiny ties and gq hairdos
play every angle right
designer suits and foreign sport coupes
how’m i supposed to fight

shot one - my chance is done
shot two - what’s there to lose
shot down - i should have known

i got shot down – i guess i should have known

people say i’m better off without her
she’s way out of my league
she’s a killer and i’m no contender
gotta break this losing streak

i always see her at the in-crowd parties
i’ll bet she’s so bored like me
a hundred guys are lining up to meet her
before i count to three

shot one - my chance is done
shot two - what’s there to lose
shot down - i should have known

i got shot down – i guess i should have known
i got shot down – another night is blown
i got shot down – lost to romeo
