The Golden Gun

about

A bossa nova influenced song (in both the chords and the rhythms) about an unhealthy, dangerous, but unavoidable, romance. Multi-layered guitars, a Latin-tinged groove, and desperate pleas begging to be released from the cycle of attraction and repulsion that rule the night and day. This is for those of you who played with matches, on a regular basis, as a toddler.

lyrics

One of these things this young man was told
All that glitters is not always gold
Crowned as king Midas reversed
I touched you and now I am cursed
You were the one

You taught me I'm learning too slow
The chill that comes after the glow
The more that your jewelry shines I'm left behind
You were the gold that fooled me again
You were the one

You were the one
With the golden gun
Face set to stun
You were the one
Cold metal touch me, girl
Shoot me shoot me when the sun goes down
You were the one

Soon after this love affair started
A fool and his happiness parted
If she's wearing my heart on her sleeve
The quicker that she's going to leave
You were the one

You were the one
With the golden gun
Face set to stun
You were the one
Cold metal touch me, girl
Shoot me shoot me when the sun goes down
You were the one


I’m sleeping with a gun in my bed
She’s under sheets and inside of my head

You were the one
With the golden gun
Face set to stun
You were the one
Cold metal touch me, girl
Shoot me shoot me when the sun goes down
You were the one

You were the one
You were the one
