Bullet And A Target Lyrics - The Clarence Greenwood Recordings - Citizen Cope

Mr.Dali Lamas 

Another sister's shootin' heroin tomorrow 

Amputees in Freetown, Sierra Leone's 

The church wasn't honest 

The state put the youth in a harness 

Creatin' hostility among us 

Teacher said no college 

Still the kid's gotta get a check 

With a couple commas 

People wanna bomb us 

More people gotta scatter and run from us 

You can blame it on Zeus and Apollo and Adonis 

But what you've done here 

Is put yourself between a bullet and a target 

And it won't be long before 

You're pulling yourself away 

But what you've done here 

Is put yourself between a bullet and a target 

And it won't be long before 

You're pulling yourself away 

I've been knowing her for years 

I've been seeing her for years 

She got dark, dark wavy hair 

With a voice like she just don't care 

She got a skirt with a halter top 

She's got a dad who never gave enough 

She drink a beer with a proper shot 

She got knocked up in a pickup truck 

But she got engaged when she was nineteen 

To this dude who was acting insane 

Has a .45 that he always cleaned 

Said one day one day one too many days 

Now she ducked and she ran away 

Never to be heard from, never to be seen 

I check the cover of a magazine 

I'm just wondering how, just wondering how 

But what you've done here 

Is put yourself between a bullet and a target 

And it won't be long before 

You're pulling yourself away 

But what you've done here 

Is put yourself between a bullet and a target 

And it won't be long before 

You're pulling yourself away 

Ah, what you've done here 

Is put yourself between a bullet and a target 

And it won't be long before 

You're pulling yourself away 

What you've done here 

Is put yourself between a bullet and a target 

And it won't be long before 

You're pulling yourself away 

A bullet and a target 

A bullet and a target 

A bullet and a target 

A bullet and a target 

Between a bullet and a target
