lyrics

DID I TELL YOU THE BULLETS’ STILL THERE?
Words and music: bill mallonee

yeah, it's good to see yer faces
yes, it's been quite a while
i was covered with blood and disgraces
but you might say that's my style

i was moving from ‘tween devils and deep blue seas
i was driftin’ from twilight to dawn
i was going from pillar to post ya' see
when the shot rang loud and long

chorus:
Hey, did i tell you the bullets' still there?
Did i tell you the bullets' still there?
So close to the heart, we’d be friends from the start
Did i tell you the bullet's still there?

Now, doctors say it causes the visions
I’m told it accounts for the voices
it might correlate with self-hatred
but I don’t think that was one of the choices
Now, I see men all afraid and a-stumblin’
all greedy for profits and war
and they wrap up in their flags & their rhetoric’s rags
They’re all drunk but they call out for more

(Repeat chorus)

Now, I came here to pick up the loose change
of all my deficit days
I came here all those bad checks to claim
of promises I broke on the way
they were written with the best of intentions
they had lots of zeros in tow
They were written I think with invisible ink
but one day I’m told that’ll all turn to gold

(Repeat chorus)

Yeah, it’s good to see your faces
and it’s good that you see mine
just so you can describe to the authorities
what you saw at the scene of the crime
I was driftin’ tween devils and last calls
with this pawn shop guitar of mine
looking for God, or the next best thing
all done up in 6/8 time
all done up in 6/8 time

(Repeat chorus)

yeah, it’s good to see your faces
my, my, it’s been long time
love’s a river that runs..then it races
back to the arms of Love Divine
