At the Speed of a Yellow Bullet

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
