Racing The Bullet

I played with matches and a dynamite stick
I looked for trouble and you sure did the trick
I thought your beauty wouldn’t do me no harm
I heard bells ringing, they were fire alarms

Now it’s too late to undo
What your love has done
It’s like racing the bullet
Once you’ve fired the gun
Racing the bullet

The night I met you I was running the risk
Of pure surrender from an unthinking kiss
You brushed my shoulder and you tugged on my tie
I knew what was coming by the look in your eye

Now it’s too late to undo
What your love has done
It’s like racing the bullet
Once you’ve fired the gun
Racing the bullet

Spark to powder
Smoke in the air
It was all over
The minute I saw you standing there

Now it’s too late to undo
What your love has done
It’s like racing the bullet
Once you’ve fired the gun
Racing the bullet
