Trigger Lyrics

Late at night, the walls start creepin' in

Jet black and darker than that

I can't sleep, I'm twisted into knots

I wanna go to sleep, I guess my only shot is pot

One on one, the angel and the devil-man

Stakes are high, but my lead is slight

Boulevards and avenues are empty

In the dead of the night, there's no one in sight

I think I'll leave it, I don't need it

If I only had a reason I could finally stop cheatin', yeah

And I see a gold-encrusted limousine

And people from the magazines and all the scenes on TV, yeah

Later on a cricket and a beetle found me sittin' all by myself

A buddy came 'round, he took me into town

I saw a curvy figure and he made me pull the trigger

And I built the armor for the battlefield

I forged the steel to bullet-proof my shield

And we won, the battle is done without a casualty

I can't tell the road from the river, but I got some money saved

Out of all the places, baby, I'm lyin' in my grave

Shake me down and take me down to the jailhouse in the sky

Standin' outside the pearly gates and they're twenty-fuckin'-seven feet high

Even every reason has a start and an end

There's a dozen lives I have saved

I don't know where I'll go, but I'll take it to grave

I'm feelin' like I'm reelin' and I'm bendin' again

I'm like a razor blade without a shave

The knives are out and sharpened and I'm reachin' for 'em now
