Bullets Ricochet

Time smokes another cigarette
Looks at the window
And tries to ignore the safety net
Time grabs a gun to play roulette
Hides around the corner
Fixing to get by on no regret

Behind the door, all you're looking for
We laugh as the world comes tumbling down
And, even so, you're wanting more
We keep spinning until we hit the ground

You and I will never die
And the angel never fall
We fight, side by side
Our backs against the wall
One day the flood will come
And wash our sins away
When the blind shoots at the world
Bullets ricochet

Time, trapped in silhouette
Still pointing a finger
Reading the lines on an empty set
Time, like a broken marionette
Stumbles off the pavement
Striking a pose in ultraviolet

Behind the door, all you're looking for
We laugh as the world comes tumbling down
And, even so, still wanting more
We keep spinning until we hit the ground

You and I will never die
And the angel never fall
We fight, side by side
Our backs against the wall
One day the flood will come
And wash our sins away
When the blind shoots at the world
Bullets ricochet

Time, never knowing what you get
Fighting each minute
Wanting to stop, but still loving it
Time smokes another cigarette
Unpainting a picture
Stuck in a hole, trying to forget

You and I will never die
And the angel never fall
We fight, side by side
Our backs against the wall
One day the flood will come
And wash our sins away
When the blind shoots at the world
Bullets ricochet
