Down - DuB Kollektive Ludwigshafen PoTTziLLa

[Intro] [Sound of distant thunder] [Slow, heavy drum kick] Oh, na-na... [Yeah] What have I done now? [Pulsing bass enters] [Verse 1] The air is cold in the middle of the day I watched the shadow as it turned to grey [So dark] I didn't mean to let the mercury rise But I saw the devil looking through his eyes. My hand was shaking on the cold, cold steel Now I’m waking up to a nightmare that’s real [Too real] One shot fired in the central square And now the silence is too much to bear. [Chorus] Oh mama, I just shot a man down [Down low] In the middle of the dusty town [So hollow] I broke a heart, I ended a soul And now the bells are starting to toll. I’m a queen without a crown Since I shot that man down. [Down, down] [Verse 2] He was coming for me, or so I thought In the web of his lies, I was finally caught [Trapped] The pride and the pain, they were heavy on my chest Now I’ll never find a single moment of rest. I see the flashing lights through the window pane Trying to wash away the scarlet stain [Wash it away] The sirens are singing a song for me Of a life that will never again be free. [Bridge] [Music strips back to just bass and a rhythmic clap] Rum-pa-pa-pum, I hear the drum Calculating what I’ve become [What am I?] Rum-pa-pa-pum, no place to run The smoking barrel of a loaded gun. [Gone] [Chorus] Oh mama, I just shot a man down [Down low] In the middle of the dusty town [So hollow] I broke a heart, I ended a soul And now the bells are starting to toll. I’m a queen without a crown Since I shot that man down. [Outro] Forgive me... [Please] I didn't want to be the villain. [Slow fade with a lonely flute melody] Shot him down. [Down] Na-na, na-na... [Sound of rain falling]
