Three Wise Men (I Shot You Down)

Remember when you told me
"Woman, this is how it's gonna be."
You put your hands between my thighs
You held me while I shook and cried
Oh, Jack

Your secret stayed with the autumn moon
Oh how he came and left so soon
I float away like a lost balloon
Living only to meet my doom
Oh, Glenn

Everything is not what it seems
Your mind wanders, your eyes don't gleam
You forced me into some chemical dream
Surely only the devil has seen
Oh, Jim

I sleep all day and drink all night
Fight the demons that haunt my mind
Say to myself "They'll be gone by noon."
But my brain is nicotine stained by you
Oh, Jim

A silver bullet to the throat
Under the black night I heard him choke
And somewhere in his eyes I saw
The end of a dour, bloody war
Oh, Jim

Two soldiers underneath the stars
Talk about wine and honky tonk bars
Three Wise Men retire to their dome
The North Star winks and guides me home
Oh, Jack

I sleep all day and drink all night
Fight the demons that haunt my mind
Say to myself "They'll be gone by noon."
But my brain is nicotine stained by you
Oh, Jim

I sleep all day and drink all night
Fight the demons that haunt my mind
Say to myself "They'll be gone by noon."
By my brain is nicotine stained by you
Oh, Jim

Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I shot you
