ADRIAN BELEW - Gunman lyrics

(belew/bowie)

Gunmanmy sort of starwe put you there

You're all of us nowyou're all over town

On wrappers and cansyou're bigger than life

You're braver than dad

You're a gunmanholding your own

You're a gunmannever alone

Gunmanleader of packsshadow of death

Killer in chicnever betrayedfriend of our kids

You're a gunmanholding your own

You're a gunmannever alone

Gunmantrader in arms

The kids on the streets are buying your charms

Gunmanmy sort of star

We're bleeding for youwe put you there

What would you giveyou're all of us now

We're burning for you

You're all over towngunman

You're on wrappers and cans

You're bigger than life and we're dying for you

And you're braver than dadgunman

You're woman are dogs

But they're braver than you

We're bleeding for you

What would you give

We're burning for yougunman

We invented you

Now we've got to live with you

You're more solid than a rock

A rock of cocaine or crack or ice or death

Like a rock of death

Like a gravestone

Gunman
