Guns. Guns... Guns Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Where have all the people gone
Whose lives are no longer of use to them?
But this system bites habit forming
But this single file is so contagious
But black eyes breed gossip like
These perverse and perversions alike
Just like these perverse and perversions

[Chorus]
Hibernate while you're still young
You are getting older so much older
So much older than you think still
Not far but years away
Your hands will snake out in a serpent smile
Crank the tap itch brimming with suspicions
The burrows are brimming with suspicions

[Verse 2]
Where have all the people gone
Whose guns are gold cold son of a bitch?
“I'll travel anywhere I like" he says
"I'll travel anywhere I please" he says

Black eyes breed gossip like
These perverts and perversions alike
Just like this perverts and perversions
[Chorus]
Hibernate while you're still young
You are getting older so much older
So much older than you think still
Not far but years away
Your hands will snake out in a serpent smile
Crank the tap itch brimming with suspicion
The burrows are brimming with suspicion

[Bridge]
Where have all the trumpets gone
That played us "la-da da-da-da"?

[Outro]
The priest’s on the boat and hell is on its way
The priest’s on the boat and hell is on its way

The priest’s on the boat and hell is on its way
The priest’s on the boat and hell is on its way
The priest’s on the boat and hell is on its way
The priest’s on the boat and hell is on its way

The priest’s on the boat and hell is on its way
The priest’s on the boat and hell is on its way
The priest’s on the boat and hell is on its way
The priest’s on the boat and hell is on its way
The priest’s on the boat and hell is on its way

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
