Ben Coupland - On The Green lyrics

[Verse 1] "Someone help me!" I heard her scream The old man clutched her chest Said "ambulance on the way stay with me" And Johnny called said there'd been a murder on the green Someone help her It can't be me Standing over her with a gun in my hand I made my baby bleed It's not my fault, she shot first at me [Chorus #1] And in the blink, blink, blink Of an eye, eye, eye Another young lover dies [Verse 2] So they took me To a cell Threw away the key And damned me right back down to hell I said "well I haven't been home in a while" Now I got angels Knocking at my door Whispering sweet nothings And I screamed "I can't take anymore! You're a coward, why don't you end it all?" [Chorus #2] And in the blink, blink, blink Of an eye, eye-ye Another young lover dies Well I'm not the only one Who's guilty of committing this crime I sing this song For the girl who met my gun A bullet in the heart It's just another problem I'm working on One more Alright Hey Louie, hey Louie, take us to Chinatown [Verse 3] And with my last breath I said "Preacher, please" To ask the undertaker if he'll partake in some bribery And steal my body and go and bury it on the green Next to my gun and young Annie We'll discuss all the arguments with friends and lover's enemies Or maybe we were both just trigger happy [Chorus #2] And in the blink, blink, blink Of an eye, eye-ye Another young lover dies Well I'm not the only one Who's guilty of committing this crime I sing this song For the girl who met my gun A bullet in the heart It's just another problem I'm working on One more Alright
