Gimme Shelter Songtext
von The Rolling Stones

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, yeah

Ooh, see the fire is sweeping
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost the way


War, children, yeah
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, hey

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 (woo)
It's just a shot away
It′s just a shot away, yeah, yeah, yeah

Mmm, the floods is threatening
My very life today
Gimme, gimme the 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
