Full Metal Jacket

I have travelled land and sea With this bullet between my teeth To give you back the hell you've given me Now see how far I've come to give you some Of this little lick of lightning on the tip of my tongue I've ridden bareback through a blizzard of sand I've had a great white eating out the palm of my hand so please! I've turned every stone and every autumn leaf With a full metal jacket between my teeth I've drunk the lizard's blood of a medicine man hey hey And I've held this feeling off for just as long as I can But now here I am! I have travelled land and sea To give you back the hell you've given me I've eaten in a cell and in the presence of kings Found mountains of nothing are incredible things I've watched the night sky from the Cairo tower Where I scrubbed myself clean in a meteor shower to see If I could cleanse myself of all that's been But I still couldn't get you out from under my skin So I spent some time in the eye of a storm hey hey Working for a family living in a honey bee swarm hey hey I have travelled land and sea to give you back the hell You've given me hey hey You've given me yeah hey hey But everytime the tightrope slacks You come rushing back Ah I hate it how you do that! And now they tell me I should be letting it go Letting you deal the final blow But I'm tired of them telling me so 'Cause I'm tired of taking the hell you've given me wherever I go How about you reap what you sow? They tell you you reap what you sow! 'Cause I travelled land and sea Mountain high and river deep To give you back the hell you've given me But when I go to speak With a full metal jacket between my teeth I see That all the while its me its been killing And I spit it out like a broken filling And I turn on my heels and I tell you instead 'Ah you're so much smaller in life than you are in my head!' Now I've travelled land and sea To give you back the hell You've given me Signed sealed delivered From now all it will be all down river As I travel land and sea I give you back the hell You've given me
