Shoot Me Dead

The stars have aligned
 With you and I in kind
 My heart's in quite a bind
 So it's been for quite a time
 It's here I wither
 In the belly of the man of wicker
 Sell me up the river
 Put your finger on the trigger
 You could shoot me in the arm
 You could shoot me in the leg
 You could shoot me in the heart
 You could shoot me in the chest
 You could shoot me in the face
 You could shoot me in the head
 You could shoot me dead
 You could tear me all apart
 You could free me from the flesh
 You could shoot me to the stars
 You could shoot until I beg
 You could turn my world dark
 You could lay me down to rest
 What am I to do?
 You could shoot me dead
 Gone beyond repair
 I sought the cross I bear
 The pill is bitter
 In the belly of the man of wicker
 Recall the safety of the cradle in the manger
 Now the world is full of danger
 Fate is rapping at my chamber door
 You could shoot me in the arm
 You could shoot me in the leg
 You could shoot me in the heart
 You could shoot me in the chest
 You could shoot me in the place
 Where you love best
 You could fill me full of lead
 You could give the powder spark
 You could wet me up a mess
 You could show me all your scars
 You could shoot 'til I confess
 You could cry for what was ours
 You could tell me I'm a wretch
 What am I to do?
 You could shoot me dead
 You could tear me all apart
 (Oh, oh, bullet and bone)
 You could free me from the flesh
 You could shoot me to the stars
 You could shoot until I beg
 You could turn my world dark
 You could lay me down to rest
 What am I to do?
 You could fill me full of lead
 You could give the powder spark
 You could wet me up a mess
 You could show me all your scars
 You could shoot 'til I confess
 You could cry for what was ours
 You could tell me I'm a wretch
 What am I to do?
 You could shoot me dead
 Fate is rapping at my chamber door
