Gimme Shelter Songtext
von The Lords of Altamont

Ooh, a storm is threatenin′
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Yeah, I′m gonna fade away

War, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
War, children
It′s just a shot away, it′s just a shot away

Ooh, the fire is sweepin'
My very street today
Looks like a red-coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way

War, children
It′s just a shot away, it's just a shot away
War, children
It′s just a shot away, just a shot away


Rape, murder
It's just a shot away, it′s just a shot away
Rape, murder
It's just a shot away, just a shot away
Rape, murder
It's just a shot away, just a shot away
Yaow!

Ooh, the flood is threatenin′
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or I′m gonna fade away

War, children
It's just a shot away, it′s just a shot away
War, children
It's just a shot away, just a shot away

Love, sister
Just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
Just a kiss away, just a kiss away
Just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
