Bang Bang

Get some sleep
or lie in wait
Until the day
I run away

Forget the corpse
present the case
to bring me down
and lose your words

I'll follow you
into the grave
and at the gates
I see the passing say,

"The judge be judged,
and all the rich be saved."
I throw my curse
all across your days**

And draw tiny pictures
'round all the days
Bag and burn
Bang Bang**

Throw your judgments
across the breeze
Bag and burn

You live inside
your Jesus dream
Bag and burn
Bang Bang**

And draw tiny pictures
'round all the days

Throw your judgments
across the breeze

Watch them float off
to never be saved

You live inside
your Jesus dream**
