Silver Bullet (from "Footprints: The Best of Powderfinger" compilation)

Common sense will not prevail, you
Pushed it out beyond the pale
You set the trap, so I tumbled into the ditch
And then we all sat by, put a brave face on it
Now I'm figuring who and how
What tomorrow is all about
You get the slightest clue
Oh, cut me in on it too

Now the silver bullet did the job
Turned your head from back to front
Pearls dripped free from the mouth of the dilettante
Spins you in a pirouette
You dance away the emptiness
A feeling you just can't forget, oh yeah

We get lost out on that trail, you
Are much too hard-headed to fail
You thought the only way
Was to crash or crash through
And when they all turned away
Came crashing down on you
When you're remembering who and how
Why your yesterdays all turned south
You won't have the slightest clue
I'll cut you on it too

Now the silver bullet did the job
Turned your head from back to front
Pearls dripped free from the mouth of the dilettante
Spins you in a pirouette
You dance away the emptiness
A feeling you just can't forget, oh yeah

Don't fight it
Don't fight the feeling, no
(Dance, dance)
Don't fight it
Don't fight the feeling, no
(Dance, dance)
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
(Dance, dance)

Now I'm figuring who and how
What tomorrow is all about
You get the slightest clue, yeah
I'll cut you in on it too

Now the silver bullet did the job
Turned your head from back to front
The pearl dripped free from the mouth of the dilettante
Spins you with a pirouette
You dance away the emptiness
A feeling you just can't forget, oh yeah

Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Dance away the emptiness
(Dance, dance)
