john wesley harding - the bullet catch lyrics

[verse 1]
every night in my magic show
i substitute the real bullet for the fake
you point the barrels at me
and we see whose nerve will break
when only i know
that the real one is in my hand
it’s make+believe
when i am the magician
you can gamble your life and never once fail
on a coin that has two tails
and that’s the catch
that’s the bullet catch
[verse 2]
well, yesterday evening
as you inspected the real one
before i had a chance to change them
you’d already loaded up the gun
i am the great whoever
so i just said, “well, take your aim”
held my breath
and hoped you did the same
there’s not a bone in my body gives in gracefully
well, you could call it the magician in me
and that’s the catch
that’s the bullet catch

[bridge]
i watched the rising muzzle
and your finger on the trigger
seconds passed

[verse 3]
and no one spoke
the audience saw you hesitate
i stood there, looking at you
and i wondered why you’d wait
i knew your nerve had broken
and i crossed the stage to you
“well, don’t feel bad
it’s happened to others too”
you took your seat once your chance had gone
and that’s the only time a trick went wrong
that’s the catch
that’s the bullet catch
[outro]
the bullet catch
the bullet catch
the bullet catch
