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 doing 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 staring down the barrel of a 45 Swimming thru the ashes of another life No real reason to accept the way things have changed Starring down the barrel of a 45
Send a message to the unborn child Keep your eyes open for a while In a box high up on the shelf Left for you, no one else There's a piece of a puzzle known as life Wrapped in guild, sealed up tight
Whatever happened to the young man's heart Swallowed by pain as he slowly fell apart
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45 Swimming thru the ashes of another life No real reason to accept the way things have changed Starring down the barrel of a 45
Everyone's pointing their fingers Always condemning me Nobody knows what I believe I believe
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45 (45) Swimming thru the ashes of another life (another life) No real reason to accept the way things have changed Starring down the barrel of a 45
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45 And I'm swimming thru the ashes of another life There is no real reason to accept the way things have changed Starring down the barrel of a 45
