Elton John - I Feel Like a Bullet (in the Gun of Robert Ford) lyrics

Like a corn in a field I cut you down
I threw the last punch too hard
After years of going steady
Well I thought that it was time
To throw in my hand for a new set of cards
And I can't take you dancing
Out on the weekend
I figured we'd painted too much of this town
And I tried not to look as
I walked to my wagon
And I knew then I had lost
What should have been found
I knew then I had lost
What should have been found

And I feel like a bullet in
The gun of Robert Ford
I'm low as a paid assassin is
You know I'm cold as a hired sword
I'm so ashamed can't we patch it up
You know I can't think straight no more
You make me feel like a bullet honey
In the gun of Robert Ford

Like a child when his toy's been stepped on
That's how it all seemed to me
I burst the bubble that both of us lived in
And I'm damned if I'll ever get rid
Of this guilt that I feel
And if looks could kill then
I'd be a dead man
Your friends and mine don't call no more
Hell, I thought it was best
But now I feel branded
Breaking up's sometimes like breaking the law

And I feel like a bullet in
The gun of Robert Ford
I'm low as a paid assassin is
You know I'm cold as a hired sword
I'm so ashamed can't we patch it up
You know I can't think straight no more
You make me feel like a bullet honey
In the gun of Robert Ford
And I feel like a bullet in
The gun of Robert Ford
I'm low as a paid assassin is
You know I'm cold as a hired sword
I'm so ashamed can't we patch it up
You know I can't think straight no more
You make me feel like a bullet honey
In the gun of Robert Ford
