Adrian Belew

Adrian Belew (born Robert Steven Belew, December 23, 1949, in Covington, Kentucky) is an American guitarist, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and record producer. He is perhaps best known for his work as a member of the progressive rock group King Crimson (which he has fronted since 1981) and for his unusual impressionistic approach to guitar playing (involving arresting, yet frequently melodic sounds more akin to animals and machines than to standard instrumental tones). more »

Gunman, my sort of star, they 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 of our kids

You're a gunman, holding your own
You're a gunman, never alone

Gunman
Gunman
Trader in arms, kids on the street
Buying your charms

Gunman, my sort of star, they 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, you're never alone
Gunman, gunman

Gunman, my sort of star, we're bleeding for you, we put you there
What would you give?
You're all of us now, we're burning for you
You're all over our town, gunman, you're on wrappers and cans
You're bigger than life and we're dying for you
And you're braver than dad, gunman
You're women are dogs
But they're braver than you

We're bleeding for you
What would you give?
We're burning for you, gunman

(We're bleeding for you) we invented you
(What will you give?) now we've gotta live with you
(We're burning for you) you're more solid
Than a rock, a rock of cocaine or crack or ice or death
Like a rock of death, like a gravestone, gunman
