Bullets

    Green hills and enemies
    These things they make us sentimental inside
    Your words are gelignite
    Or just another sentimental aside

    We're catching bullets in our teeth
    And though it's easy when you know how it's done
    They split the secret up six ways before they gave it to us just before dawn
    And now we don't remember

    Our blood and guts are out
    We spread our bones across the table at night
    We cut our fingers off
    To give ourselves those little extra insights

    We're catching bullets in our teeth
    And though they try hard not to say how it's done
    They always do
    They spill the secret out six ways
    And beg for our forgiveness
    Just before dawn
    And now we don't remember

    We're catching bullets in our teeth
    It's hard to do but they're so sweet
    And if they take a couple out
    We try to work things out
    We catching bullets with our
    Heads and hearts and all the darkest parts of us
    It's strange to find such light
    In such endless night

    So sweet to lose a friend
    You leave the church and taste
    The air in your lungs
    Old lies and fireflies
    Carve angels on your eyes
    And all is undone
    You whisper prayers into the dark
    Up to a god in whom you've never believed
    You always do
    You split the secret up six ways
    But it won't make it any easier to see
    And now we don't remember

    We're catching bullets in our teeth
    Its hard to do but they're so sweet
    And if they take a couple out
    We try to work things out
    We're catching bullets with our
    Heads and hearts and all the darkest parts of us
    It's strange to find such light
    In such endless night
    We're catching bullets in our backs
    We sent the undertaker back
    Into the garden in the drought
    To try to work things out
    We're catching bullets with the best resources that we've got
    We're happy then again we're not
    We shout - through the endless doubt
