ELTON JOHN - I Feel Like A Bullet (In The Gun Of Robert Ford) lyrics

rate me

Music by Elton John

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

Like a corn in a field I cut you down

I threw the last punch too hard

After years of going steady, well I thought that it was time

To throw in my hand for a new set of cards

And I can't take you dancing out on the weekend

I figured we'd painted too much of this town

And I tried not to look as I walked to my wagon

And I knew then I had lost what should have been found

I knew then I had lost what should have been found

And I feel like a bullet in the gun of Robert Ford

I'm low as a paid assassin is

You know I'm cold as a hired sword

I'm so ashamed can't we patch it up

You know I can't think straight no more

You make me feel like a bullet honey in the gun of Robert Ford

Like a child when his toys have been stepped on

That's how it all seemed to me

I burst the bubble that both of us lived in

And I'm damned if I'll ever get rid of this guilt that I feel

And if looks could kill then I'd be a dead man

Your friends and mine don't call no more

Hell, I thought it was best but now I feel branded

Breaking up's sometimes like breaking the law

Breaking up's sometimes like breaking the law
