Bob Marlette - 45 lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] What ever happened, to the young man's heart? Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] What ever happened, to the young man's heart? Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Everyone's pointing their fingers Always condemning me And nobody knows what I believe I believe [Chorus] And I'm staring down the barrel of a .45 And I'm swimming through the ashes of another life There is no real reason to accept the way things have changed Staring down the barrel of a .45 [Chorus] And I'm staring down the barrel of a .45 Swimming through the ashes of another life There is no real reason to accept the way things have changed Staring down the barrel of a .45 [Outro] .45 Staring down the barrel of a .45
