Lyrics
All roads they lead to shame All drowning in the blame All reflections look the same In the shine of the midnight revolver All hide beneath a skin A hope so paper thin I'm at the door again And the shine of the midnight revolver Even the promise of danger has gone dull Staring down the barrel of a 45 Suck on the barrel Suck on the barrel Suck it 'til it's gone dry For all reflections look the same In the shine of the midnight revolver Redemption purify Will nothing satisfy The scars just multiply In the shine of the midnight revolver Twisting in apocalypse Death upon the fingertips Frigid metal touches lips And the shine of the midnight revolver 'Cause you lied Just a bullet away Just a bullet away from leavin' you Just a bullet away Stop the voices in my head Caressing death again Becomes the heroin Forbidden medicine Puts a shine on the midnight revolver Eternal borderline All the faces intertwine Oh God... now I see mine In the shine of the midnight revolver Even the promise of danger has gone dull Staring down the barrel of a 45 Suck on the barrel Suck on the barrel Suck... suck till it's dry For all reflections look the same In the shine of the midnight revolver Down In Misery Down In Misery Just a bullet away Just a bullet away from leavin' you Just a bullet away Stop the voices in my head All roads they lead to shame All drowning in the blame Reflections look the same In the shine of the midnight revolver All hide beneath a skin A hope so paper thin I'm at the door again And the shine of the midnight revolver Even the promise of danger has gone dull Staring down the barrel of a 45 Suck on the barrel Suck on the barrel Suck... suck till it's dry Do all reflections look the same In the shine of the midnight revolver 'Cause you lied Yes you lied Just a bullet away Just a bullet away from leavin' you Just a bullet away Stop the voices in my head
