Open Fire Lyrics

So you caught me unprepared
now you think I'm running scared
stab my heart with a poison pen
patronise me now and again

I expect no favours
and I get no gratitude
you catch me in the mood

Tell me if you think that this is worth the while
coming back into style
stretched out on the wire
oh oh oh oh oh
open
open fire
open fire
open fire

Now you see me now I'm gone
this has only just begun
take a bow and drink a toast
know who can hurt me the most

I expect no favours
and I get no gratitude
you catch me in the mood

Tell me if you think that this is worth the while
coming back into style
stretched out on the wire
oh oh oh oh oh
open
open fire
open fire
open fire

close out your eyes and hold out your hand
you wait for your big surprise
what kind of promises do there exist
in meaningless alibis

Tell me if you think that this is worth the while
coming back into style
stretched out on the wire
send me all of your million letters
you really should know me better
time to open fire
oh oh oh oh oh
open
open fire
open fire
open fire

So you caught me unprepared
now you think I'm running scared
stab my heart with a poison pen
patronise me now and again

I expect no favours
and I get no gratitude
you catch me in the mood

Tell me if you think that this is worth the while
coming back into style
stretched out on the wire
oh oh oh oh oh
open
open fire
open fire
open fire

Now you see me now I'm gone
this has only just begun
take a bow and drink a toast
know who can hurt me the most

I expect no favours
and I get no gratitude
you catch me in the mood

Tell me if you think that this is worth the while
coming back into style
stretched out on the wire
oh oh oh oh oh
open
open fire
open fire
open fire

close out your eyes and hold out your hand
you wait for your big surprise
what kind of promises do there exist
in meaningless alibis

Tell me if you think that this is worth the while
coming back into style
stretched out on the wire
send me all of your million letters
you really should know me better
time to open fire
oh oh oh oh oh
open
open fire
open fire
open fire

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
