Send away for a priceless giftnOne not subtle, one not on the listnSend away for a perfect worldnOne not simply, so absurdnIn these times of doing what you're toldnKeep these feelings, no one knowsnWhat ever happened to the young man's heart?nSwallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apartnn[Chorus:]nAnd I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,nSwimming through the ashes of another lifenNo real reason to accept the way things have changednStaring down the barrel of a 45nnSend a message to the unborn childnKeep your eyes open for a whilenIn a box high up on the shelf, left for you, no one elsenThere's a piece of a puzzle known as lifenWrapped in guilt, sealed up tightnnWhat ever happened to the young man's heart?nSwallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apartnn[Chorus]nnEveryone's pointing their fingersnAlways condemning menAnd nobody knows what I believenI believe!nn[Chorus]nnAnd I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,nAnd I'm swimming through the ashes of another lifenThere is no real reason to accept the way things have changednStaring down the barrel of a 45
