Pink Bullets
The Shins
[Verse 1]
I was just bony hands
As cold as a winter pole
You held a warm stone out
New flowing blood to hold
Oh, what a contrast you were
To the brutes in the halls
My timid young fingers held
A decent animal

[Chorus 1]
Over the ramparts you tossed
The scent of your skin and some foreign flowers
Tied to a brick, sweet as a song
The years have been short but the days were long

[Verse 2]
Cool of a temperate breeze
From dark skies to wet grass
We fell in a field, it seems now
A thousand summers passed
When our kite lines first crossed
We tied 'em into knots
But to finally fly apart
We had to cut them off
[Chorus 2]
Since then it's been a book you read in reverse
So you understand less as the pages turn
Or a movie so crass and awkwardly cast
That even I could be the star

[Bridge]
I don't look back much as a rule
And all this way before murder was cool
But your memory is here and I'd like it to stay
Warm light, on a winter's day

[Harmonica Solo: James Mercer]

[Chorus 3]
Over the ramparts you tossed
The scent of your skin and some foreign flowers
Tied to a brick, sweet as a song
The years have seemed short but the days go slowly by
Two loose kites fallen from the sky
Drawn to the ground in an end to flight
Write the lyrics for a rock song made in 2003, titled "Pink Bullets", by artist "The Shins".
