Bullet Lyrics


This is a bullet from a gun called, "What the fuck?"
If I was standing in your shoes, I'd throw my hands straight up
And start explaining at the speed of light, not sound
How the words get some coffee, came to mean, get downAnd all the king's horses and all the king's yen
Couldn't stop the abracadabra that invites these men
And all the alleyways in Amsterdam could not compete
Against the Wall Street speed with which you leave your feetOh yes, this song is a joke
Funny like our house goin' up in smoke
Funny like the bomb between my teeth when we kiss
You pulled out the pin with your own sweet lipsEverytime the phone rings you get there first
And when the pizza man comes, you always run for your purse
Now I'm the son of a banker, I know just what the deal is
If you wrote it out in braille, I wouldn't even have to feel itOh yes, this song is a joke
Funny like our house goin' up in smoke
Funny like the bomb between my teeth when we kiss
You pulled out the pin with your own sweet lipsFunny how goodbye can sound so sad sometimes
Today it sounds happy like a nursery rhyme
And you're not Cinderella, so don't forget your shoes

I've never been as lonely as when I was with youOh yes, this song is a scream
Funny like our lovin' doused in gasoline
Funny like the bomb between my teeth when we kiss
You pulled out the pin with your own sweet lipsThis is fireman McNeil from the Hennepin line
We got the call around ten, we couldn't get there in time
There was a driveway leading to a hole in the ground
I got the heebies bone deep and turned the truck straight aroundOh yes, this song is a joke
Funny like my fingers in your bicycle spokes
Funny like the bomb between my teeth when we kiss
You pulled out the pin with your own sweet lips

Mason Jennings is a Minnesota-based pop-folk singer-songwriter. Jennings is originally from Honolulu, Hawaii. He is well known for his simple yet catchy melodies, intimate lyrics, intensely literary and historical themes, and deep tenor's voice. His music has appeared in the surf film Shelter and he has toured extensively. Jennings is married to Amy Jennings (nee Turany) and has a son, August, born in January 2003.

Jennings produced his self-titled debut album in 1997 on an analog four-track in the basement of a rented home, manning all instruments himself. In October 1998, after bringing drummer Chris Stock and bassist Robert Skoro on board, he began a weekly gig at Minneapolis' 400 Bar as the Mason Jennings Band. Garnering local praise and a wide fan base, Mason began touring nationally.

His 2000 album Birds Flying Away revealed Jennings' political activism and penchant for singing first-person narratives of imaginary rustic characters. Following the release of this album, Noah Levy took over drumming duties from Stock.

2002 saw the release of two albums: the studio piece Century Spring and a "fans only" collection of acoustic rarities, Simple Life. An EP supporting Century Spring was also released, featuring the album's opening track, "Living In The Moment," two live tracks, and the previously-unreleased "Emperor Ashoka." Jennings released all three discs -- and re-released his earlier albums -- on his homebrewed record label, Architect Records.

In 2003, Skoro and Levy left the band (the former to pursue a solo career), and were replaced by bassist Chris Morrissey (formerly of Bill Mike Band) and drummer Brian Mcleod.

On 10 February 2004, Jennings released Use Your Voice, which notably included the songs "Keepin' It Real," a foot-stomper ostensibly written at the request of Shrek 2 producers (but not used in the film), and "The Ballad of Paul and Sheila," an acoustic dirge for late Minnesota senator Paul Wellstone. On the 30th, September of that year, the band released a DVD entitled Use Your Van, which chronicled the recording of Use Your Voice and part of the promotional tour. The DVD was filmed by Andy Grund.

On June 17, 2005, news broke that Jennings had finally signed with a major label: Glacial Pace, a subsidiary of Sony's Epic Records headed by Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock. Minnesota's Star Tribune broke the story, and credited Brock with convincing Jennings to sign after the Mason Jennings Band had opened for several Modest Mouse shows in 2004. Jennings had long avoided the major labels, citing desires to maintain creative control and dodge big-label politics.

Jennings recorded his sixth album, "Boneclouds," at Pachyderm Studio in Cannon Falls, MN. The album was released on May 16, 2006 by Glacial Pace.

After considerable success on "Boneclouds", Jennings released his seventh full length album "In the Ever". The album was released under Jack Johnson's "Brushfire Records".
