I'm the gun But you're the trigger Set me off at any moment And watch me explode And leave a path of destruction in my wake. But I guess I don't live in America Because I have no right to bear arms To protect my heart from being shot By your trigger fingers, Those same fingers That wrap around my throat Like a boa constricting Tighter tighter tighter: I don't know if it's the overwhelming feeling of familiarness when our naked bodies join together like the two missing pieces of a puzzle or the lack of oxygen to my brain That's making me dizzy

Bang
I'm the gun But you're the trigger Set me off at any moment And watch me explode And leave a path of destruction in my wake. But I guess I don't live in America Because I have no right to bear arms To protect my heart from being shot By your trigger fingers, Those same fingers That wrap around my throat Like a boa constricting Tighter tighter tighter: I don't know if it's the overwhelming feeling of familiarness when our naked bodies join together like the two missing pieces of a puzzle or the lack of oxygen to my brain That's making me dizzy
