Number One with a Bullet

number one with a bullet

number one with a bullet my dear

my friend told his friend my friend

tell them what I've found

tell them how the ocean sounds

and how a man can drown

tied to the tide

till the earth drags you down

ground to the ground

where the sea's white wings pound

number one with a bullet

number one with a bullet my dear

every time you tell the story

I never can know

will I be the one that he saves

I love the way you tell it

you tell it so low

like we're already under the waves

my ear to your mouth

I can hear the blood roar

we rage on the ocean

to crash on the shore

my ear to your mouth

like a shell from the sea

my mouth to your ear crying

please wait for me

number one with a bullet

number one with a bullet my dear

number one with a bullet my dear
