From the 2006 album by Todd Burge
Hip About Time

lyrics

by Todd Burge ©2005 Bunj Jam-BMI
Comes a day

I’ve been told

To everybody, every soul

The barrel of your own gun

Ends up cocked and in your face



So comes a place

When your head turns

Everybody, every soul

You can’t stare off

You can’t run

From the barrel of your own gun



Daddy blew away with the spring breeze

Brother drank himself blind

Mother saw the sinning, it was in my eyes

Cause I was thinking sin all the time

Baby found a honey sweeter than me

A worker bee without the sting

I was holding out for nothing

When I already had something

That I could hold eternally



So comes a time

A lonely time

Everybody, every soul

You can’t gaze away

And you can’t run

From the barrel

Of your own gun

From the barrel

Of your own gun
