Send away for a priceless gift
|
One not subtle, one not on the list
|
And send away for a perfect world
|
One not simply, so absurd
|
'cause in these times of doing what you're told
|
you keep these feelings that no one knows
|
|
So what ever happened to the young man's heart
|
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
|
I'm swimming through the ashes of another life
|
There's no real reason to accept the way things have changed
|
Staring down the barrel of a 45
|
|
Send a message to the unborn child
|
to keep your eyes open for a while
|
'cause in a box high up on the shelf is left for you, no one else
|
There's a piece of a puzzle known as life
|
That's wrapped in guilt and sealed up tight
|
|
So what ever happened to the young man's heart
|
It's swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
|
I'm swimming through the ashes of another life
|
There's no real reason to accept the way things have changed
|
I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
|
|
'cause everyone's pointing their fingers
|
you're always condemning me
|
Well, nobody knows what I believe
|
What I believe
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
|
I'm swimming through the ashes of another life
|
There's no real reason to accept the way things have changed
|
Staring down the barrel...
|
|
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
|
And I'm swimming through the ashes of another life
|
There's no real reason to accept the way things have changed
|
Staring down the barrel of a 45, of a 45
|
|
I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
|
