(lyrics are written by Jay Kay)

How many times can a man watch the sunrise over his head
Without feeling free...?

How many words will fail me in my neglegence
To arrest - oh yes - this crazy part of me...?

How many fools will I let unlock the door to my heart
When I know that - know that they shouldn'a had the key...?

It's been so long
And the groove in my heart is nearly gone
Oh, my heads in the clouds... but I'm landin on my feet

chorus:
Don't shoot me down (sunshine, shine down )
I'm hot tequila brown
Don't shoot me down
I'm stone cold but I'm lying here in the (sunshine, shine down)

How many lives will I lose on the battle lines...?
Inside my mind I think I've had enough

Don't shoot me down
All I want is to see my black eyes turn back to brown
Cross that Rubicon - I think I really must

chorus x4
