Bullet Time

歌詞

There is a dream / that they try to sell you, Peaches and cream / but no one'll tell you That under the gloss / the whole thing is rotten, And once you get lost / you're gone and forgotten. Last time I looked / bein' a cop meant you worked by the book / the law is the fine print But not around here / it's screwed up my life It killed my career / my daughter, my wife And I can Feel time crowding me in to a choice I can't stand Seems the only time I feel like I'm in command -- Bullet time makes me a man. The bad guys are good / at gaming the system, So often I should / have hit 'em, I've missed 'em, My vict'ries were mor / al, failures were mounting, I needed a score / they'll think is worth counting. In all of this time / I'd never killed any- One solving crime / now there's so many, Gun in my hand, lots of / blood on it too, But what in the hell / is a man s'posed to do? And I can Feel time slippin', how long should I try to survive? Seems the only time I can steer that inner drive -- Bullet time keeps me alive. I got a moment here and a moment there When I can focus on the how and why and where, I can hear the clock tickin' in my head, Counting down to the second when somebody's dead. It's like makin' love, only lots more grim, As the universe contracts to me and him, The brush of a kiss, the squeeze of a trigger, The smallest of motions and emotions get bigger.... The dream that they sell / we all try to be it, A cold day in hell / before I ever see it, And my only chance / for any salvation Is seat-of-the-pants / straight into damnation But I don't despair / you need hope for that one I don't need a prayer / long as I got my gun But in me's a cancer / the memory from back when Death wasn't the answer / or even the question And I Feel time slowing, or am I just going insane? Seems the only time that I can explain -- Bullet time eases the Payne.
