She’s Pulling Out The Pin-lyrics/credits
The European edition of The Delivery Man is on sale and includes the lyrics to its extra track She’s Pulling Out The Pin.
She’s Pulling Out The Pin
She’s pulling out the pin
That lets her hair down
She shakes her head
And it goes tumbling
Her smile was out of place
So she swept it out of her face
Let me find the words and say them
Like some softly spoken ‘’ Amen’’
But she starts to pull away
And all the lights begin to dim
Is she thinking of me?
Or is she thinking of him?
She’s pulling out the pin…
She’s slipping off the hook
Unbuttoning her dress
There’s just enough to make some man a mess
She tears away that veil
With her fingernails
She came out high and kicking
While the band played ‘’Hey, Good Looking’’
Do you hear something ticking?
Did somebody tell her ‘‘You can only be redeemed?’’
Could she actually be as desperate as she seems?
She’s tearing at the seams
She’s going to extremes
Nobody told her it was a sin
She’s pulling out the pin
She’s taping up her hands just as a boxer will
They started laughing
But if looks could kill
She’d take them down right now
She’s covering her mouth
With some unholy vow
There’s nothing more to say
This is her wedding day
Full of shattered glass and mayhem
Not one softly whispered ‘’Amen’’
When the shock announcement dawns
And the smoke begins to thin
When the world without ends
And the next one begins
She’s pulling out the pin
