The Speed Of A Yellow Bullet - Head Automatica

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
