Happiness Is a Warm Gun Lyrics

[MAX]
She's not a girl who misses much
Doo doo doo doo doo doo, oh yeah
She's well-acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane
The man in the crowd with the multicolored mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
Working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the National Trust

I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
Down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
Mother Superior jumped the gun

[MAX & SOLDIERS]
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun

[MAX]
Happiness is a warm gun
[NURSE]
Bang bang, shoot shoot

[MAX & NURSE]
Happiness is a warm gun
Yes it is (Bang bang, shoot shoot)

[MAX]
When I hold you in my arms

[NURSE]
Oh, yeah

[MAX]
When I feel my finger on your trigger

[NURSE]
Oh, yeah

[MAX]
Oh, don't you know nobody can do me no harm

[MAX & NURSE]
(Oh, yeah) Oh, because
Happiness is a warm gun, mama (Bang bang, shoot shoot)
Happiness is a warm gun, yes it is (Bang bang, shoot shoot)
[MAX]
Happiness is a warm, yes it is
Gun

[NURSE]
Happiness
Bang bang, shoot shoot

[MAX & NURSE]
Well, don't you know that happiness (Happiness)
Is a warm gun, mama, yeah (Is a warm gun, yeah)
