James And The Cold Gun Lyrics - Kate Bush

James, come on home 

You? ve been gone too long, baby 

We can? t let our hero 

Die alone 

We miss you day and night 

You left town to live by the rifle 

You left us to fight 

But it just ain? t right to take away the light 

Remember Genie from the casino? 

She? s still awaiting in that big brass bed 

The boys from your gang are knocking whiskey back 

? Til they get out of hand and wish they were dead 

They? re only lonely for the life that they led 

With their old friend

Ooh, James, are you selling your soul to a cold gun? 

Where lies your heart? 

It? s not there in the buckskin', baby 

It? s not there in the gin 

That makes you laugh long and loud 

You? re a coward, James 

You? re running away from humanity 

You? re running away from reality 

It won? t be funny when they rat-a-tat-tat you down
