Lyrics
I have travelled land and sea
With this bullet between my teeth
To give you back the hell youโve given me
Now see how far Iโve come to give you some
Of this little lick of lightning on the tip of my tongue
Iโve ridden bareback through a blizzard of sand
Iโve had a great white eating out the palm of my hand so please!
Iโve turned every stone and every autumn leaf
With a full metal jacket between my teeth
Iโve drunk the lizardโs blood of a medicine man hey hey
And Iโve held this feeling off for just as long as I can
But now here I am!
I have travelled land and sea
To give you back the hell youโve given me
Iโve eaten in a cell and in the presence of kings
Found mountains of nothing are incredible things
Iโve watched the night sky from the Cairo tower
Where I scrubbed myself clean in a meteor shower to see
If I could cleanse myself of all thatโs been
But I still couldnโt get you out from under my skin
So I spent some time in the eye of a storm hey hey
Working for a family living in a honey bee swarm hey hey
I have travelled land and sea to give you back the hell
Youโve given me hey hey
Youโve given me yeah hey hey
But everytime the tightrope slacks
You come rushing back
Ah I hate it how you do that!
And now they tell me I should be letting it go
Letting you deal the final blow
But Iโm tired of them telling me so
โcause Iโm tired of taking the hell youโve given me wherever I go
How about you reap what you sow?
They tell you you reap what you sow!
โCause I travelled land and sea
Mountain high and river deep
To give you back the hell youโve given me
But when I go to speak
With a full metal jacket between my teeth I see
That all the while its me its been killing
And I spit it out like a broken filling
And I turn on my heels and I tell you instead
โAh youโre so much smaller in life than you are in my head!โ
Now Iโve travelled land and sea
To give you back the hell
Youโve given me
Signed sealed delivered
From now all it will be all down river
As I travel land and sea
I give you back the hell
Youโve given me
