Silver Bullet - Pixies

A few dark words you said to me

I drew a blank and then I flew

I walked the plank into the blue

My heartbeat in leagues of silence

I walked along the coral snow

I saw some lights, an old hotel

The bell was rung, the glasses filled

That cloudy drink that blackens bile

The shade is drawn with stem and vine

Burned in the flame of a man condemned

With venom wine and golden dawn

A silver bullet in the chamber turning

You said at last

"Let's have a duel out by the pines, the day is warm"

I played the fool and when it passed

The gadflies swarmed and then they dined

The shade is drawn with stem and vine

Burned in the flame of a man condemned

With venom wine and golden dawn

A silver bullet in the chamber turning

The shade is drawn with stem and vine

Burned in the flame of a man condemned

With venom wine and golden dawn

A silver bullet in the chamber turning

The shade is drawn with stem and vine

Burned in the flame of a man condemned

With venom wine and golden dawn

A silver bullet in the chamber turning
