Found a girl and I gave her a ring
She was everything I'm looking for
It's over now
And this is how
I lost the war
My head got heavy as a Christmas cake
And I made a break for the door
It starts so young
You sharp your tongue
I lost the war
But you're not the only one
With a gun for a mouth
No you're not the only one with a gun
We kept on talking till the morning light
And the night wasn't night anymore
Beneath the trees
We crushed the leaves
I lost the war
But you're not the only one
With a gun for a mouth
No you're not the only one
With a gun for a mouth
Gun for a mouth
Gun!
You can shout and spit and kiss me with it
Pout and frown and shoot me down
But there's a redheaded angel in the wings
Saying Lay Ye Down Your Sword
It's over now
And this is how
I lost the war
But you're not the only one
With a gun for a mouth
No you're not the only one
With a gun for a mouth
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah
But you're not the only one
With a gun for a mouth
Gun for a mouth
Got a gun for a mouth
Gun, got a gun
Got a gun for a mouth
Gun, got a gun
Got a gun for a mouth
Gun, got a gun
Got a gun for a mouth
