Kai Straw - A Collection of Recordings lyrics

I have this recurring thought
Of getting a revolver
And placing one bullet in the
Chamber as an offer to fate, or a challenge
Like "Here's my pound of flesh
Take if my purpose is in death"
Then I'd record it
So you could hear fate's response
I'd either "bang" drop or
"click" breath hard 'cause, you know
Philosophies only go so far
It's words, words
Words then tomorrow we're forgotten

"The world is very different now"
"The ballet or the
Bullet explains it'self"
"Only when it is dark enough
Can you see the stars" "I heard shots and
I saw people crawling on the floor"
"The apostle of non-violence and
The civil rights movement"
"He brought to the white house
The vigor of youth"
"The bullet exploded in his face"

"and I heard my husband say
Everything is alright
Everything is alright"
