Catherine Wheel - That's When I Reach For My Revolver lyrics

Burma (written by C. Conley)

Once I had my heroes

Once I had my dreams

But all of that is changed now

Gets twisted inside out

The truth is not that comfortable, no

No

And Mother taught us patience

The virtues of restraint

And Father taught us boundaries

In honor we must go

The vanity will colour us, yeah

That's when I reach for my revolver

That's when it all gets blown away

That's when I reach for my revolver

That feeling passes by this way

A friend of mine once told me

His one and only aim

To build a giant castle

And in it sign his name

The silence whispers me and you in chains ???

That's when I reach for my revolver

That's when it all gets blown away

That's when I reach for my revolver

That feeling passes by this way

Yeah

And now the sky is empty

But that is nothing new

The dead eyes look upon us

And they tell me we're nothing but things ???

That's when I reach for my revolver (but things)

That's when I reach for my revolver

That's when I reach for my revolver

That's when I reach for my revolver

That's when I reach for my revolver

That's when I reach for my revolver
