Lyrics for Gimme Shelter
Ooh, a storm is threatening My very life today If I don't get some shelter Ooh 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, see the fire is sweepin' Our streets today Burns 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 It's just a shot away Rape, murder, it's just a shot away It's just a shot away Rape, murder, yeah, it's just a shot away It's just a shot away Rape, murder, it's just a shot away It's just a shot away Mmm, a flood is threatening 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 It's just a shot away It's just a shot away It's just a shot away I tell you love, sister It's just a kiss away It's just a kiss away It's just a kiss away It's just a kiss away It's just a kiss away Kiss away, kiss away
