Last Bullet
--------------

When darkness rose and spoke
I packed my things and made to go
There was nothing left to hold me here
As you're best placed to know

Cos you are the last bullet
In the chamber of my heart
You are the last bullet in the chamber of my heart

I used to see what others couldn't see
On the other side
But circumstances wiped away
That glimmer from my eyes

Now you are the last bullet
In the chamber of my heart
You are the last bullet in the chamber of my heart

I sit in cinema's winter light
But I refuse to grieve
We live beneath an exit sign
With no inclination to leave

While you are the last bullet
In the chamber of my heart
You are the last bullet in the chamber of my heart

Like Hopper's solitary souls
In neon red and green
I've sat at every table laid
But nothing has satisfied me

In for the kill
If we’re to live as ghosts of men
In for the kill
Our kind will not be seen again
By insurmountable will
I invoke the right to love someone again

I've launched rickety boats in oceans
Into seas that were unkind
I've mapped the stars with algebra
There was nothing there I could find

Yes, you are the last bullet
In the chamber of my heart
You are the last bullet in the chamber of my heart

I broke the backs of twelve wild horses
Herding cattle in my mind
For every fence I penned them in
They're prospering just fine

In for the kill
What is it worth to gods and men?
In for the kill
Our kind will not be seen again
By insurmountable will
We reserve the right to never love again

In the forests near and yonder
The deer on eggshells they do tread
But if you light a fire you'll mesmerise
The angels in their heads

Then in for the kill
