Paroles de Bullet Proof Poet

As the preacher stumbles from his castle of sin And his vision gets distorted from the bottle within But his mouth slurs out the words from a sober heart They cut deep into open nerves then they tear you apart This is the ballad of the bullet proof poet This is the ballad, don't I know it He gave Jesus tattoos and took the devil's soul He got the angels drunk and gave them the gutter for a home This is the ballad of the bullet proof poet This is the ballad, don't I know it He loved the most beautiful girl in the mist of wine A last kiss through cigarette smoke then she quietly slipped of the edge of time This is the ballad of the bullet proof poet This is the ballad, don't I know it
