the speed of a yellow bullet

i drove a tank in on the left, i hid a rifle on the right, when she said "i see a tunnel, and at the end i see a light", i see fire on the water, on the right bank and the left, and she smiles when she wears the iron curtain as a dress, i said come on, come on, you're tellin me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up, come on, you're tellin me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut, i see a preacher with a secret, and he dare not make a sound, i see the smoke and fire, and the market burning down, i see a tulip on the grave, of a lover who confessed, i'm a soldier and a poet, but i'm a dancer at best, i said come on, come on, you're tellin me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up, come on, you're tellin me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut, i said come on, you're tellin me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up, come on, you're tellin me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut, yes baby yes, i'm burnin houses baby, i'm burnin bridges baby, yes baby yes, i'm burnin houses baby, i'm burnin bridges baby, i drove a tank in on the left, i hid a rifle on the right, when she said "i see a tunnel, and at the end i see a light", i see fire on the water, on the right bank and the left, and she smiles when she wears the iron curtain as a dress, i said come on, come on, you're tellin me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up, come on, you're tellin me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut, i said come on, you're tellin me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up, come on, you're tellin me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut
