lyrics

PHOENIX CORONA
MUSIC AND LYRICS WRITTEN BY NORMAN E. WILKERSON

Standing in the valley, with a gun to my head.
She whispers softly love is dead.
And with a winter’s kiss she lays me to rest,
Where cradle and grave now contest.

Forever more, forever more.

Of all the wicked things I’ve done,
hurting you was just for fun,
It brings a smile to my face, to see you fall from grace.

Run boy run oh, run boy run oh

Gunslinger girl left me for dead
With a hole in my head, with a hole in my head
All the damage is done, pistol smoke and blood,
So I whisper your name to the sun.

Phoenix Corona
(You didn’t really think you were going to live through this did you?)
Phoenix Corona
(You didn’t really think you were going to live through this did you?)

I wore a glorified bullet in the back of my head,
I couldn’t stop laughing because I knew I was dead,
I wore a shade of black underneath my eyes,
I wore it everyday to cover the…scars of her lies.
Gunslinger girl left me for dead,
With a hole in my head, with a hole in my head.
Stupid boy, what have you done
Stupid boy, she’s just having fun.
Stupid boy you should’ve run, boy you should have run.
