We read on the plaque who we stabbed in the back and

I'm touching my face in the emptiest place

We ran it off track and now we're catching the flack and

When the sabo escapes, you've gotta pick up the pace



Detective one to number two

He says, "We need to think this through

And I'm told, that's a million dollar bullet hole."

The twentieth passes and nobody knows and

They're buying new cars and they're buying new clothes

The final shot happens and nobody hears

'Cause the kids are too good, so they covered their ears



I trace the plaque up to Jose

There is a hole instead of a name

And to the right it is the same

This is what those bullets became



The cameras turn on and now, so do the lights and

The mornings get long, and so do the nights

We wrote out a story and made up some fights and

We put out the hook and we're seeing who bites



Detective one to number two

He says, "I think we've got our clue

And I'm told, that's a million dollar bullet hole."



Brother one to number two

He says, "It's time to tell the truth

We've gone and done it, we've sold our souls

To a million dollar bullet hole."



Lawyer one to number two:

"Let's drop our cash and spin the view

A little green could give us control

Of a million dollar bullet hole."



Witness one to number two

They took the cash, what else to do

Two violent boys for them to extol

For a bit of that bullet hole



We threw out the plaque and we don't want it back and

I'm touching my face in the loneliest place

We ran it off track and we were called out as hacks

I gotta whole lot of things that I wanna erase (x4)



I trace the plaque up to my name

And there's a hole just like Jose

My brother's name is just the same

This is what those bullets became
