lyrics
THE BONE STOPPED THE BULLET
by David Paul Jensen
Better use your mind
(I told you that) The purpose is to use your mind
It’s better to be strong
But you miss the point if you just cannot get along
Stand strong don’t quit
It’s gonna have to sink in
*konk, konk*
Stand strong don’t quit
Don’t fall in love
Shoot first, ask the questions later
Know I did you a favor
Only need convenient competition
(Only need convenient competition)
Greet the meek the flowers and demise
(Only need convenient competition)
Rock to sleep their first born crying babies
(And tie ‘em up)
Do their tear ducts ever dry?
(De-flower and divide)
When I shoot first, ask the questions later
Salt tears are my favorite flavor
Or milk tears, serve em hot!
Deep down I’m an incubator
I live for button-flies,
Sweet deals
And pillow fights,
There’s nothing better!
Shoot first, ask the questions later
It knows where to go
It’s got a mind of its own
Don’t keep the bullet from its habitator
Shoot first, ask the questions later
It knows where to go
Pay no mind
To the cross that you might find
On the chest of a stranger
Or yard of a neighbor
You might find
To turn a cheek you’ll save more time
But I will remember
Forever linger
String on a finger
Will always come untied
Do what I told you boy
And don’t waste a second
Or we’ll get someone else
If your stomach turns and knots and groans
Don’t let it appall you
It’s just proof that you’ve won.
Shoot first; ask the questions later
(gotta gun)
I’ll know where to go
(gotta gun)
‘Cause I’ve been there befo’
(gotta gun)
Don’t keep the bullet from its habitator
Shoot first; ask the questions later
(gotta gun)
I know where to go
Pay no mind
to the cross that you might find
On the chest of a stranger
Or yard of a neighbor
You might find
To turn a cheek you’ll save more time
But pay no mind
To the conscience that comes behind
An exceeding quarter
Or suit on back order
They’ll d'flower, o'power and divide
Nowhere’s home to nowhere
But the bullet’s always begging for the ride!
Recorded on an iPhone, the four tracks on the new EP from Kiara NGL burst with both big feelings and gentle melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 19, 2022
In Adrian Snood’s songs, soulful vocals and slow-moving alt-pop swirl together to create something distinctly moving. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 1, 2023
