You see the sunday birds swinging low , 
 and a fever in your brain only grows
 and the murder boys are running down the street ,
 you can see 'em from the window from your seat
 Hear the sound of the mightiest of guns
 
 And the shadows go like ghosts accross your room ,
 oh, take the world and burn it in a spoon
 A mercy ship to sail you off to sleep ,
 to where the ??? and angels swim the deep
 there is no hiding from the mightiest of guns 
 
 worth every breath you drink in the night , 
 you won't give up your blue without a fight
 And looking at the sky there is no pain , 
 see the stars all falling down like burning rain ,
 they were fired by the mightiest of guns
 
 Tomorrow i'll be out of my mind ,
 the bear will dance and the organ will grind
 And i'm laughin cause i know there ain't no sin
 All the world on a head of a pin
 Turning fast beneath the mightiest of guns .
 Turning fast beneath the mightiest of guns .
