Lyrics David Byrne

David Byrne

Bullet

The bullet went into him

His skin did part in two

Skin that women had touched

The bullet passed on through

The bullet went into him

It went its merry way

Like an old gray dog

On a fox's trail

The bullet went into him

His stomach filled with food

Many fine meals he tasted there

But the bullet passed on through

The bullet went into him

It went its merry way

Like an old gray dog

On a fox's trail

The bullet went into him

Through his heart with thoughts of you

Where your kisses he inhaled

The lies and the truth

The bullet went into him

Traveled up into his head

Through thoughts of love and hate

The living and the dead

The bullet went into him

It went its merry way

Like an old gray dog

On a fox's trail
