45 (Live Acoustic from Kansas City)

The song 45

Send away for a priceless gift,

One not subtle, one not on the list,

Send away for a perfect world,

One not simply, so absurd

In these times of doing what your told

You keep these feelings, no one knows

What ever happened to the young man's heart,

Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45

Swimming through the ashes of another life

No real reason to accept the way things have changed

Staring down the barrel of a 45

Send a message to the unborn child

Keep your eyes open for awhile

In a box high up on the shelf

Left for you

No one else

Theres a piece of a puzzle known as life

It's wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight

Whatever happened to the young mans heart

Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45

Swimming through the ashes of another life

No real reason to accept the way things changed

Staring down the barrel of a 45

Everyone's pointing their fingers

Always condeming me

And no one knows what i believe

What I believe

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45

I'm swimming through the ashes of another life

No real reason to accept the way things changed

And they changed

And I am staring down the barrel of a 45

And I'm swimming through the ashes of another life

No real reason to accept the way things have changed

Staring down

Down a 45

I'm staring I'm staring I'm staring down a 45

Staring staring staring staring

Cos I'm staring I'm staring I'm staring down a 45

Staring staring staring staring

Cos I'm staring down a 45

Cos I'm staring down a 45

But I'm still alive

But I'm still alive
