Irresistible Targets Lyrics

Shoot out the moon in a midnight sky.
Shoot out the sun in a blackbird's eye.
Shoot out a dream and don't say why.
So it's up to you and I
To beat our arms against the sky
And keep it flying.
Maria had a store on the boulevard.
For the barrio boys she worked real hard.
When the bullets fly in East LA
A bullet took her out today, out today.

Are they shooting down the Angels, yeah?
You can bet your life they are.
They're irresistible targets, yeah?
They're irresistible targets, yeah?
They're irresistible targets, yeah?
For any shooting star
1968 it has that ring
Of RFK - Martin Luther King
Where a dream went down
On a hotel floor
Dreams are what we're living for, living for.

Are they shooting down the Angels, yeah?
You can bet your life they are.
They're irresistible targets, yeah?
They're irresistible targets, yeah?
They're irresistible targets, yeah?
To any shooting star
Shoot out the moon in a midnight sky.
Shoot out the sun in a blackbird's eye.
Shoot out a dream and don't say why.
So it's up to you and I
To beat our arms against the sky
And to keep it flying.
Keep it flying.

So it's up to you and I
to keep it flying
to keep it flying
