My mouth runs on

[tara]

Hi,

I don't understand the first part of a song called "The View" by Modest Mouse.

"Your gun went off.
Well you shot off your mouth and look where it got you.
My mouth runs on too. "

Does it mean "Because you shot a gun, you blew your mouth off.
And my mouth, too"???

Thank you,
Tara

Hello Casiopea,

Thank you very much for introducing the useful site.
That exactly what I needed.

So, I understand it means;
"You shot a gun and kept talking, and I kept talking too."

Thank you,
Tara
