In 1997 the Bullet Was Shy

[Monologue: Ade Paloh]
Oh, shiny beautiful metal
Fitting in, is it?
Well, we could all wonder
Should we?

[Verse 1: Ramondo Gascaro]
Sinful recognition in my life
Goes without no one
Goes when those foes gone

[Monologue: Ade Paloh]
Come, depart
Free
From freedom
This guilt
Come, it's thrilling

[Verse 2: Ramondo Gascaro]
When my ignorance is biting
Friends will not fall down
Friends will surely found

[Chorus: Ramondo Gascaro]
Well, I do refuse to be abused by
The sickening conclusion
The deafening delusion
Of life that once I've known
Of life that once might have grown

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3: Ramondo Gascaro]
By now resolution is aging
I fell for my own game
A game for all to shame

[Chorus: Ramondo Gascaro]
Well, I do refuse to be abused by
The sickening conclusion
The deafening delusion
Of life that once I've known
Of life that once might have grown
And I do refuse to be abused by
The sickening conclusion
The deafening delusion
Of life that once I've owned
Of life that once might have shown

[Monologue: Ade Paloh]
My friend
This is a lovely morning for a haunting evening
Fare thee well, compadre
This is it for me
(Why did you do it?)
(Hey, you know?)
(You look so beautiful now)
(It's ending)
(Or is it?)

[Outro: Ade Paloh]
(It's not)
