The fire before the gun
You chipped away atmosphere
with an icepick
tension shatters
its primetime evil
come this way stranger
Gin and tonic on your lips
just another sugary sweet kiss
what starts of as a appitiser...
ends up a moist tranquilizer
Because i saw the fire
before i heard the gun
I saw the fire
before i heard the gun
What have you gone and done
you peeled me like a ripe mangosteen
now you've found my forbidden dream
why dont you take my hand and come with me
Gin and tonic on your lips
just another sugary sweet kiss
what starts of as a appitiser...
ends up a moist tranquilizer
Because i saw the fire
before i heard the gun
i saw the fire
before i heard the gun
The lights went out
with a flick of your finger and thumb
i felt the heat
before i saw the gun
Because i saw the fire
before i heard the gun
i saw the fire
i saw the fire
i saw the fire...
Before i heard the gun
with an icepick
tension shatters
its primetime evil
come this way stranger
Gin and tonic on your lips
just another sugary sweet kiss
what starts of as a appitiser...
ends up a moist tranquilizer
Because i saw the fire
before i heard the gun
I saw the fire
before i heard the gun
What have you gone and done
you peeled me like a ripe mangosteen
now you've found my forbidden dream
why dont you take my hand and come with me
Gin and tonic on your lips
just another sugary sweet kiss
what starts of as a appitiser...
ends up a moist tranquilizer
Because i saw the fire
before i heard the gun
i saw the fire
before i heard the gun
The lights went out
with a flick of your finger and thumb
i felt the heat
before i saw the gun
Because i saw the fire
before i heard the gun
i saw the fire
i saw the fire
i saw the fire...
Before i heard the gun

Very interesting way you've put things dear poet...
you saw the fire before you heard the gun..
So is it saying you felt the danger before the warning?
I would like to make sure I had understood it right...
My... how our hearts feel so much.. I guess it leads to regretful things when the emotions get the best of us
may the burnt scars from the flames of the fire heal , and firearms never point at you again...
Love
