Don't Shoot Me Santa

[Verse 1: Brandon Flowers & Ryan Pardey]

Oh, Santa, I've been waiting on you

That's funny, kid, because I've been coming for you

Oh, Santa, I've been killing just for fun

Well, the party's over, kid

Because I, because I got a bullet in my gun

A bullet in your what?!

[Pre-Chorus: Brandon Flowers]

Santa's got a bullet in his gun (You know it)

Santa's got a bullet in his gun

[Chorus: Brandon Flowers]

Don't shoot me, Santa Claus

I've been a clean living boy, I promise you

Did every little thing you asked me to

I can't believe the things I'm going through

Don't shoot me, Santa Claus

Well, no one else around believes me

But the children on the block, they tease me

And I couldn't let 'em off that easy

[Verse 2: Brandon Flowers & Ryan Pardey]

Oh, Santa, it's been a real hard year (Year)

There just ain't no getting around this, life is hard

But look at me, I turned out all right

Hey, Santa, why don't we talk about it? Work it out

Believe me, this ain't what I wanted

I love all you kids, you know that

Hell, I remember when you were just ten years old

Playing out there in the desert

Just waiting for a sip of that sweet Mojave rain

[Pre-Chorus: Brandon Flowers]

In the sweet Mojave rain, the boy was on his own

[Chorus: Brandon Flowers]

Don't shoot me, Santa Claus

I've been a clean living boy, I promise you

Did every little thing you asked me to

I can't believe the things I'm going through

Hey, Santa Claus

Well, no one else around believes me

But the children on the block, they tease me

And I couldn't let 'em off that easy

[Bridge: Brandon Flowers]

They had it coming, so why can't you see?

I couldn't turn my cheek no longer

The sun is going down and Christmas is near

Just look the other way and I'll disappear forever

Woo!

[Chorus: Brandon Flowers]

Don't shoot me, Santa Claus

Well, no one else around believes me

But the children on the street, they tease me

And I couldn't let 'em off that easy

[Outro: Brandon Flowers]

Believe me, Santa (Santa)
