Shoot​-​'em​-​Up Heroine

from Some of Us Are Liars by Somewhere Here

/

lyrics

I once met a bright shining girl
And she was an action movie star
When she was six and barely knew English
I guess that's how most shoot-em-up heroines are
She was scared and not in the mood for the party
But she was so happy to see me, she grabbed me tight
She didn't know all the drugs she was high on
She couldn't bum a cigarette to save her life

Maybe it's the poison talking
Cuz I swear I can see a red light glowing
Overhead, when I'm dead
I wanna come back to life
Like the Shoot-em-up Heroine

The Shoot-em-up Heroine was tripping on acid
She wanted me to take her home and it was on my way
She was I the only person that she ever trusted
She said she died a million times that day
She was gazing directly at my heart
With x-ray vision and eyes of gold
She made the best and worst decision
That a person could possibly make when they're
Twenty years old

The Shoot-em-up Heroine died a million times
But that just proves that she can come back to life
Rising up from the ashes of all of those bong hits
Feeling so good from reviving, she partied the next night
I'm surprised she remembered me at all
It was the first time I'd seen her in a year
She just keeps bouncing back from death
The Shoot-em-up Heroine drinks alcohol and phoenix tears
