War Paint lyrics

[Verse 1]

(Bang!)

I can hear the shots, when the fireworks soar, and the sounds of the battle

(Drop down!)

Drop down, know I'm on top; when the arrows are drawn, the sergeant's on the saddle

This ain't the type of love that sees a lot of give and take

And I don't know how we push and pull, but I know we'll never break

Bang, bang, I can hear the shots

But I like the way you feel in the flames of the candle

[Pre-Chorus]

Too late to leave these walls

This castle's been surrounded

Won't stay to watch it fall around us

[Chorus]

Bring the big guns out, shoot now

I'll make the drums beat harder for you

Red on the ground, bleed out

I'll rub the colors on my face to prove

I'll sing it like

Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Watch me put my war paint on, my war paint on

Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Watch me put my war paint on, my war paint on

[Verse 2]

I move my troops on the map

When your allies and your tribes are telling you to leave me

They won't see my plan of attack

Cause this is our fight; love is not the enemy

Everything that you do gives me some power, makes me feel alive

So take the gun, I'm your Bonnie, you can be my Clyde

I know that you feel the same

So paint it on your face and, baby, let the world see

[Pre-Chorus]

Too late to leave these walls

This castle's been surrounded

Won't stay to watch it fall around us

[Chorus]

Bring the big guns out, shoot now

I'll make the drums beat harder for you

Red on the ground, bleed out

I'll rub the colors on my face to prove

I'll sing it like

Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Watch me put my war paint on, my war paint on

Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Watch me put my war paint on, my war paint on

[Bridge]

It's not easy, but I'll draw my knife for you

It's not easy, but I'll draw my knife for you again

[Chorus]

Bring the big guns out, shoot now

I'll make the drums beat harder for you

Red on the ground, bleed out

I'll rub the colors on my face to prove

I'll sing it like

Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Watch me put my war paint on, my war paint on

Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Watch me put my war paint on, my war paint on

Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Watch me put my war paint on, my war paint on

Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Watch me put my war paint on, my war paint on

On for you
