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
What ever 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 through the ashes of another life No real reason to accept the way things have changed Staring 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 guilt, sealed up tight
What ever 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 through the ashes of another life No real reason to accept the way things have changed Staring down the barrel of a 45
Everyone´s pointing their fingers Always condemning me And nobody knows what I believe I believe
And I´m staring down the barrel of a 45, Swimming through the ashes of another life No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45
And I´m staring down the barrel of a 45, And I´m swimming through the ashes of another life There´s no real reason to accept the way things have changed Staring down the barrel of a 45
