At The Speed Of A Yellow Bullet Lyrics

I drove a tank in on the left 

I hid a rifle on the right 

When she said "I see a tunnel 

and at the end I see a light" 

I see fire on the water 

On the right bank and the left 

And she smiles when she wears the iron curtain as a dress 



I said come on 

Come on 

You're tellin me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up 

Come on 

You're tellin me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut 



I see a preacher with a secret 

And he dare not make a sound 

I see the smoke and fire 

And the market burning down 

I see a tulip on the grave 

Of a lover who confessed 

I'm a soldier and a poet 

But I'm a dancer at best 



I said come on 

Come on 

You're tellin me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up 

Come on 

You're tellin me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut 

I said come on 

You're tellin me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up 

Come on 

You're tellin me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut 



Yes baby yes 

I'm burnin houses baby 

I'm burnin bridges baby 

Yes baby yes 

I'm burnin houses baby 

I'm burnin bridges baby 



I drove a tank in on the left 

I hid a rifle on the right 

When she said "I see a tunnel 

and at the end I see a light" 

I see fire on the water 

On the right bank and the left 

And she smiles when she wears the iron curtain as a dress 



I said come on 

Come on 

You're tellin me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up 

Come on 

You're tellin me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut 

I said come on 

You're tellin me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up 

Come on 

You're tellin me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut
