Dead shot through the temple 
In the temple heard the preacher screech 
I bored you full of holes Lucretia 
Saw you crease up in a ball 
As if you swallowed your own poison 
Followed as you crawled up to the altar 
I watched the tabernacle choir 
Bawling in a bath of sacramental wine 
You laced it but it tastes just fine to me 
Yes '89's a good year 
Let's hear it now for bittersweet 
Let's hear it now for good old '89 
Let's hear it now for good old '89 
We took our seats 
We watched them stringing up a chicken 
Kept on kicking 
As they kicked away the chair 
They fed it strychnine 
We kept on staring sickened sordid 
As you pulled another bullet 
From my belt and fired 
Count to nine 
Count to nine 
Count to nine 
I caught it in my teeth 
I licked it clean 
I chewed it 
I chewed it struck a match 
I flew a dozen stories to my stool behind a widow 
Sure I'm small but big enough 
But I'm big enough to send a bullet through your head 
A bullet through the center of your head 
I'll send a bullet through the center of your head 
Center bullet 
Rent a bullet 
A bullet through the center of your head 
A bullet through the center of your head 
Center bullet 
Rent a bullet
