Gimme Shelter Songtext
von The Rolling Stones

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Yes, a storm is threat′ning
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Lord, I′m gonna fade away

A war, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
A war, children
It′s just a shot away, it′s just a shot away

(Lady Gaga!)
Oh, see the fire sweepin'
Our very street 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, m-m-m-m-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
It′s just a shot away, shot away, shot away

Yes, and the flood is threat'ning
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
War, children
It's just a shot away, shot away, shot away


It's just a shot away, it′s just a shot away
It′s just a shot away, shot away, shot away
It's just a shot away, it′s just a shot away
It's just a shot away, shot away, shot away

I tell you love, sister, yeah
It′s just a kiss away, it's just a kiss 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
It's just a kiss away, it′s just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away, kiss away, kiss away

Gimme shelter, yeah (ooh)
(Ooh) gimme shelter, yeah (ooh)
Ooh, ooh, oh-oh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh (woo-hoo), ooh (woo-hoo), ooh (woo-hoo)
Ooh, rape, murder
It′s just a shot away, just a shot away
Yeah, ah (it's just a shot away, just a shot away)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh (woo-hoo), ooh (woo-hoo), ooh

Kiss away, kiss away
Just a shot away, it′s just a shot away
Shot away
Shot away, shot away, shot away, shot away, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah, hey, hey, hey)
Ooh, ooh (oh yeah)
Ooh, woo, ooh, yeah, ooh

Rape, murder
It's just a shot away (yeah, yes!)

Lady Gaga, thank you very much!
Lady Gaga, brilliant!
