Shooting Gallery Lyrics

All the cowboys are at the arcade
Oh bring your rifle and join the brigade
I'll show you baby, all the new tricks
Smack in the middle you'll get your kicks

You got one shot for money, the other for free
And if you want it, you got it
You'll get it from me

Shoot, shoot, shooting gallery
Shoot, shoot, shooting gallery
Shoot, shoot, shooting gallery
Set your body free

All the cowgirls are out on the street
They keep stoppin' in time with the heat
Oh, bring your baby, load up your gun
Smack in the middle gets the blues on the run

You just prime your rifle, for ecstasy
And if you want It, you got it, you get it for free

All the cowgirls are out on the street
They keep stoppin' in time with the heat
Oh, bring your baby, load up your gun
Smack in the middle gets the blues on the run
You got one shot for money, the other for free
And if you want it, you got it
You'll get it from me

Shoot, shoot, shooting gallery, Shoot, shoot
Shooting gallery, set your body free

Shoot, shoot, shooting gallery
Shoot, shoot, shooting gallery

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
