lyrics
There’s a hundred bullets meant for me
A hundred bullets meant for me
I’ve been outrunning them my whole life
But they’re meant for me
One of them’s gonna hit between my eyes
But they’re meant for me
One of them’s gonna hit between my eyes
Oh there were seas of tears I never cried
Gonna come to me in tides
Come to me and wash my yellow smile
Oh there were seas of tears I never cried
Gonna come to me in tides
Come to me and wash my yellow smile
There’s a hundred bullets meant for me
A hundred bullets meant for me
Oh there were crimes
For which I did no time
But they’re waiting in the wings
Gonna yoke and fetter me
Oh there were seas of tears I never cried
Gonna come to me in tides
Come to me and wash my yellow smile
Gonna come to me in tides
