Barrel Of A Gun Lyrics
I know a movie star
I've got her plastered to my wall
Just like we're dear old friends
Like she already knows me
She's perfect as she seems
Lifts me right out the mezzanine
I finally fell in love
I'd been waiting forever.
CHORUS:
Four, Three, Two One
When at the barrel of a gun
Keep my head way down
Stay out I'll stay in
Half dead, half numb
She's enough to make me warm
It's all so safe and sound
Lie back and fast asleep
If you could see what I could see
Drip drop a lovely dream
Goddamn you movie star
Can't you just stay a minute more?
We'd be the best of friends
You could stay here forever.
CHORUS:
Four, Three, Two One
When at the barrel of a gun
Keep my head way down
Stay out I'll stay in
Half dead, half numb
She's enough to make me warm
It's all so safe and sound
BRIDGE:
She will be sweet on me
Just like a mystery
It's not so hard to see
If I'm not mistaken
She comes from far away
Gets closer everyday
And all that I can say
She's all I want and all that I live for
CHORUS:
Four, Three, Two One
When at the barrel of a gun
Keep my head way down
Stay out I'll stay in
Half dead, half numb
She's enough to make me warm
It's all so safe and sound
I've got her plastered to my wall
Just like we're dear old friends
Like she already knows me
Lifts me right out the mezzanine
I finally fell in love
I'd been waiting forever.
When at the barrel of a gun
Keep my head way down
Stay out I'll stay in
Half dead, half numb
She's enough to make me warm
It's all so safe and sound
If you could see what I could see
Drip drop a lovely dream
Can't you just stay a minute more?
We'd be the best of friends
You could stay here forever.
When at the barrel of a gun
Keep my head way down
Stay out I'll stay in
Half dead, half numb
She's enough to make me warm
It's all so safe and sound
Just like a mystery
It's not so hard to see
If I'm not mistaken
She comes from far away
Gets closer everyday
And all that I can say
She's all I want and all that I live for
When at the barrel of a gun
Keep my head way down
Stay out I'll stay in
Half dead, half numb
She's enough to make me warm
It's all so safe and sound

This song is not about masturbation unlike what you may think... Its about a person wanting attention from their "movie star" It's about wanting..
Hahaha...either you are very naive, or you just don't want this song tainted. It's about masturbation. Drip drop a lovely dream? that should give it away right there.

while PARTS of the song are about masturbation (i.e. "lie back and fast asleep, if you could see what i could see...drip drop a lovely dream"), there are other aspects to it. obsession with someone famous. infatuation.
Saying "Its about masterbation" cheapens this song. Yes, parts of it refer to masturbation, but not every friggen line. The songs about obsession and enfatuation... which leads to the masturbation. But its more than just a song about whacking off.
I completely agree with RomulusRomstar. THIS SONG IS ABOUT INFATUATION! However, the song includes parts that reference to masturbation. Read the lyrics, it's clear that the MAIN meaning of the song is the infatiation and obsession, and masturbation comes as a part of thist obsession.
Can't you hear this song blaring during some kidnapping scene on some show? Celeb is tied to a chair in a dark room, trying to escape her bonds and the killer/kidnapper comes out of the darkness and is trying to convince the celeb that this is all how it should be? That would be really freaky and an intense scene...
Masturbation, maybe... Heroin, a little less likely, but without any confirmation from the band themselves...
Er... I thought it was kind of like "Straw Hat and Old Dirty Hank" by Barenaked Ladies. I thought it was about an obsessive fan who tries to assassinate the celebrity he's in love with. A song about masturbation just seems so juvenile. Seriously, this is Guster, not Green Day.
so what's the deal, is this about masturbation or not?
probably
orange..WTF =/....someone should kill you...
this is a great song
why should someone kill him? it is indeed good, but i wish to know what it's about, or at least what people think.
