Cowboy Junkies - Bullet For You lyrics

I got a bullet for you I’m on a black tar rooftop Pigeons pickin’ bread from the palm of my hand Pinch their beaks in my fingers Like a trigger, baby Lights out with a twist Not so much as a coo Unbreathing and still Dead as a patriot On a Cuban beach There’ll be no air cover to save you... I got a bullet for you I swung a state for you, Jack We shared a mistress Now, every time I take a leak I got you burning in me And your brother’s like a bad rash That keeps comin’ back Some days I think, “Who do I whack first?” Dear Mr. Kennedy Up on Capitol Hill We are a Fact Finding Committee and My memory failed me We only wish the truth But it’s all coming back at Eighteen-hundred feet per second To you Are you a communist infiltrator? Dictator Tito’s dancing partner? We demand full disclosure and a plain-sight, unobstructed view of your car I, J.F.K., this is Fidel Castro Got a bullet for you Operation Mongoose is a no-no ‘Cause my wife just left me Let’s go, mano y mano For a look-a-like Kennedy Working in a traveling show I, I’m just a patsy, pay no mind to me Got a bullet for you Bringing curtain rods to work, redecorating If you need me I’ll be In the break room with a soda In the Texas School Book Depository waiting for you... You take the window and I’ll take the knoll And I’ll be in the headlines before you... The manhole, the overpa** The fire escape, the picket fence The stairwell, the parked car The plaza, the sixth floor.... We got a bullet for you...
