lyrics

Put a gun in my hand
And tell me I'm faster than I really am
And he asked me, as we sat there,
(With his parents side by side)
How many more violin Hallelujahs must we endure?

He was the millionth man on the moon
But he always reached a little higher
And he told me he wouldn't stop there
Won't go down without a fight
But he bruised himself too hard to ever bloom

You gotta show me 'round your castle
Before the (k)night comes to have his way
You gotta talk to me—though I've never seen a ghost
I'm willing to believe

Who claps at a funeral anyway?
Don't sour the sour mood
And he whispered as we sat there
It's ok to be removed
I'd rather get drunk than shed a single tear at all

He's got the Starjuice and the brown-brown
From the old men charred in their blazers
He's not a blamer, he's a taker
Spending muggy nights aloof
A little camo; a little dirt to set the mood

You gotta show me 'round your castle
Before the (k)night comes to have his way
You gotta talk to me—though I've never seen a ghost
I'm willing to believe

He's just one of the 64,000 embarrassed
Soft targets, babies on a billboard; corroding
Love my loved ones—who knows how long they'll be around?
Shitty timing

Put a gun in my hand and tell me I'm faster than I really am
