There are bullets in your eyes And we've a score to settle now A burst of violent light A smokin' gun and I'm on the ground You shot me down You shot me down You shot me down I'll give you one more rose Before you go It's one last shot to keep My fightin', bleedin' Heart alive Well, it's worth a try But you just sink into my sleep It's vanity The ghosts have all arrived Dressed in their fancies and their frills They run with eager eyes To that little church upon a hill
Where I lay still Where I lay still I'm waiting, still To give you one more rose Before you go It's one last shot to keep My fightin', bleedin' Heart alive Well, it's worth a try But you just sink into my sleep It's vanity It's vanity It's vanity Oh vanity I'll give you one more rose Before you go It's one last shot to keep My fightin', bleedin' Heart alive Well, it's worth a try But you just sink into my sleep It's vanity
