SEND AWAY
FOR A PRICELESS GIFT
ONE NOT SUBTLE
ONE NOT ON THE LIST
SEND AWAY
FOR A PERFECT WORLD
ONE NOT SIMPLY
SO ABSURD
IN THESE TIMES
OF DOIN'
WHAT YOU'RE TOLD
KEEP THESE FEELINGS
NO ONE KNOWS
WHATEVER HAPPENED
TO THE YOUNG MAN'S
HEART
SWALLOWED BY PAIN
AS HE SLOWLY
FELL APART
AND I'M STARIN'
DOWN THE BARREL
OF A .45
SWIMMIN' THROUGH
THE ASHES OF
ANOTHER LIFE
NO REAL REASON
TO ACCEPT THE WAY
THINGS HAVE CHANGED
STARIN' DOWN
THE BARREL OF A .45
SEND A MESSAGE
TO THE UNBORN CHILD
KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN
FOR A WHILE
IN A BOX
HIGH UPON THE SHELF
LEFT FOR YOU
NO ONE ELSE
THERE'S A PIECE
OF A PUZZLE
KNOWN AS LIFE
WRAPPED IN GUILT
SEALED UP TIGHT
WHATEVER HAPPENED
TO THE YOUNG MAN'S
HEART
SWALLOWED BY PAIN
AS HE SLOWLY
FELL APART
AND I'M STARIN'
DOWN THE BARREL
OF A .45
SWIMMIN' THROUGH
THE ASHES OF
ANOTHER LIFE
NO REAL REASON
TO ACCEPT THE WAY
THINGS HAVE CHANGED
STARIN' DOWN
THE BARREL OF A .45
EVERYONE'S POINTING
THEIR FINGERS
ALWAYS CONDEMNING ME
AND NOBODY KNOWS
WHAT I BELIEVE
I BELIEVE
AND I'M STARIN'
DOWN THE BARREL
OF A .45
SWIMMIN' THROUGH
THE ASHES OF
ANOTHER LIFE
NO REAL REASON
TO ACCEPT THE WAY
THINGS HAVE CHANGED
STARIN' DOWN
THE BARREL OF A .45
AND I'M STARIN'
DOWN THE BARREL
OF A .45
AND I'M
SWIMMIN' THROUGH
THE ASHES OF
ANOTHER LIFE
THERE IS
NO REAL REASON
TO ACCEPT THE WAY
THINGS HAVE CHANGED
STARIN' DOWN
THE BARREL OF A .45
.45
