Bullet Slept Quiet

The Murder Ballad That Never Quite Happened A dark ballad about the special relationship between Kinski&Herzog A Holzkopf Production Lyrics: I met him in Munich, nineteen seventy-two Eyes like a wolf that had chewed through the zoo He screamed till the neighbors all phoned for the law I thought: this one’s finished before the next door But I kept him, Lord help me, I kept him around A dog with no master, teeth deep in the ground And the gun was loaded, one round, nickel bright I carried it nightly into jungle and night But the hammer stayed back The river ran on The bullet slept quiet The mad dog lived long I aimed for the heart God turned my hand We shot five more pictures And buried no man He tore down the set, set fire to the script Called me a coward, said death was too quick I found him one morning with rope round his throat He laughed like a child when I cut through the rope I carried the weight of his skull in my hands Thought: one good push and he’s under the sand But the hammer stayed back The river ran on The bullet slept quiet The mad dog lived long I aimed for the heart God turned my hand We shot five more pictures And buried no man Years later he’s gone, one foot in the grave I walk to the river and still feel the crave His voice in my skull like a radio wave Shouting “Werner, you bastard, you never were brave” I open the drawer where the old gun lies The chamber’s empty — no need for goodbyes The hammer stayed back The river ran dry The bullet’s still waiting No reason why I aimed for the heart Time turned my hand We shot all those pictures And buried no man … and I still don’t know whether I loved him or whether I just couldn’t pull the trigger.
