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 my pain as he slowly fell apart
And I'm staring down the barrell of a .45 (.45) Swimming through the ashes of another life (another life) No real reason to accept the way things have changed Staring down the barrell of a .45
Send a message to the unborn child Keep your eyes open for a while In a box high upon a shelf Left for you, no one else There's a piece of a puzzle known as life Wrapped in guilt, sewn up tight
What ever happened to the young man's heart Swallowed my pain as he slowly fell apart
And I'm staring down the barrell of a .45 (.45) Swimming through the ashes of another life (another life) No real reason to accept the way things have changed Staring down the barrell of a .45
Everyone's pointing their fingers Always condemning me Nobody knows what I believe I believe
And I'm staring down the barrell of a .45 (.45) Swimming through the ashes of another life (another life) No real reason to accept the way things have changed Staring down the barrell of a .45
And I'm staring down the barrell of a .45 (.45) And I'm swimming through the ashes of another life (another life) There is no real reason to accept the way things have changed Staring down the barrell of a .45
