Barrel Of A Gun

I know a movie star

I've got her plastered to my wall

just like we're dear old friends

like she already knows me



she's perfect as she seems

meets me right out the mezzanine

I've finally fell in love

I'd been waitin' for ever



4, 3, 2, 1

when at the barrel of a gun

keep my head way down

stay out or stay in

half dead, half numb

she's enough to make me warm

it's all so safe and sound



lie back and fast asleep

if you could see what I could see

drip drop a lovely dream



goddam you movie star

can't you just play a minute more

we'd be the best of friends

you could stay here for ever



4, 3, 2, 1

when at the barrel of a gun

keep my head way down

stay out or stay in

half dead, half numb

she's enough to make me warm

it's all so safe and sound



she will be sweet on me

just like a mystery

it's not so hard to see

if I'm not mistaken



she comes from far away

and gets closer everyday

and all that I can see

is she's all I want, and all that I live for



4, 3, 2, 1

when at the barrel of a gun

keep my head way down

stay out or stay in

half dead, half numb

she's enough to make me warm

it's all so safe and sound
