The Speed Of A Yellow Bullet Lyrics

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
