Gunman - Adrian Belew
(belew/bowie) Gunman, my sort of star, we put you there You’re all of us now, you’re all over town On wrappers and cans, you’re bigger than life You’re braver than dad You’re a gunman, holding your own You’re a gunman, never alone Gunman, leader of packs, shadow of death, Killer in chic, never betrayed, friend […]
