Shoot The Pianist

from Vigo: Manilanimal by Khavn

/

lyrics

shoot the pianist / dont have to worry
no one will catch you / in time

shoot the pianist / what’s the matter?
where’s the water / in the sand?

shoot the pianist / help the sick & the poor
kill your neighbor / if you can

shoot the pianist / and everyone else
but everyone’s left / you’re right

bang bang / bullets on the loose
bang bang / who’s gonna lose?
bang bang / the piano’s on fire
bang bang bang / i’m going home

shoot the pianist / catch the culprit
down the stairs / stuck in your arm

shoot the pianist / cast the mongoose
who’s gonna help you / in dire dire dire need?

bang bang / waste bullets in the air
bang bang / ballet soon be over
bang bang / before i change my aim
bang bang / if you only had 2 brains

bang bang / bullets on the loose
bang bang / who’s gonna lose choose ooze?
bang bang / the piano’s on fire
bang bang bang bang bang bang / i’m going home

so shoot em up / so shoot me now / so shoot

In his hands, pianos become versatile mediums of violence and tenderness that produce label-defying compositions — not exactly avant or pop; not quite jazz or punk. ... more
