Pixies — Silver Bullet

[Verse 1] A few dark words you said to me I drew a blank and then I flew I walked the plank into the blue My heartbeat in leagues of silence [Verse 2] I walked along the coral snow I saw some lights, an old hotel The bell was rung, the glasses filled That cloudy drink that blackens bile [Chorus] The shade is drawn with stem and vine Burned in the flame of a man condemned With venom wine and golden dawn A silver bullet in the chamber turning [Verse 3] You said at last, "Let's have a duel Out by the pines, the day is warm" I played the fool and when it passed The gadflies swarmed and then they dined [Chorus] The shade is drawn with stem and vine Burned in the flame of a man condemned With venom wine and golden dawn A silver bullet in the chamber turning The shade is drawn with stem and vine Burned in the flame of a man condemned With venom wine and golden dawn A silver bullet in the chamber turning The shade is drawn with stem and vine Burned in the flame of a man condemned With venom wine and golden dawn A silver bullet in the chamber turning
