She's pulling out the pin<br>
That lets her hair fall down
That lets her hair fall down<br>
 
She shakes her head and<br>
She shakes her head and it goes tumbling
It goes tumbling<br>
 
Her smile was out of place<br>
Her smile was out of place
So she swept it off her face<br>
 
<br>
So she swept it off her face
Let me find the words and say them<br>
 
Like some softly whispered Amen<br>
 
<br>
Let me find the words and say them
As she starts to pull away<br>
 
And all the lights begin to dim<br>
Like some softly whispered “Amen”
Is she thinking of me<br>
 
Or is she thinking of him<br>
 
She's pulling out the pin<br>
As she starts to pull away
<br>
 
She's slipping off the hook<br>
And the lights begin to dim
Unbuttoning her dress<br>
 
There's just enough to make some man a mess<br>
Is she thinking of me?
She tears away the veil<br>
 
With her fingernails<br>
Or is she thinking of him?
<br>
 
She came out high and kicking<br>
She’s pulling out the pin…
While the band played "Hey good lookin'"<br>
 
Do you hear something ticking?<br>
 
<br>
She’s slipping off the hook
Did somebody tell her?<br>
 
You can really be redeemed<br>
Unbuttoning her dress
Could she actually be?<br>
 
As desperate as she seems<br>
There’s just enough to make some man a mess
She's tearing at the seams<br>
 
She's going to extremes<br>
She tears away the veil
Nobody told her it was a sin<br>
 
So she's pulling out the pin<br>
With her fingernails
<br>
 
She's taping up her hands<br>
 
Just as a boxer will<br>
She came out high and kicking
They started laughing<br>
 
But if looks could kill<br>
While the band played “Hey, Good Looking”
She'd take them down right now<br>
 
She's covering her mouth<br>
Do you hear something ticking?
With some unholy vow<br>
 
There's nothing more to say<br>
 
This is her wedding day<br>
Did somebody tell her  
<br>
 
Full of shattered glass and mayhem<br>
“You can really be redeemed?”
Not one softly whispered amen<br>
 
When the shock announcement dawns<br>
Could she actually be  
And the smoke begins to thin<br>
 
Where the world without her ends<br>
As desperate as she seems?
And the next one begins<br>
 
She's pulling out the pin<br>
She’s tearing at the seams
 
She’s going to extremes
 
Nobody told her it was a sin
 
So she’s pulling out the pin
 
 
She’s taping up her hands  
 
Just as a boxer will
 
They started laughing, but if looks could kill
 
She’s take them down right now
 
She’s covering her mouth with some unholy vow
 
There’s nothing more to say
 
This is her wedding day
 
 
Full of shattered glass and mayhem
 
Not one softly whispered “Amen”
 
 
The shock announcement dawns
 
And the smoke begins to thin
 
Where the world without ends
 
And the next one begins
 
She’s pulling out the pin
 
She’s pulling out the pin
 
She’s pulling out the pin

lyrics for
She's Pulling Out The Pin

She's pulling out the pin
That lets her hair fall down
She shakes her head and
It goes tumbling
Her smile was out of place
So she swept it off her face

Let me find the words and say them
Like some softly whispered Amen

As she starts to pull away
And all the lights begin to dim
Is she thinking of me
Or is she thinking of him
She's pulling out the pin

She's slipping off the hook
Unbuttoning her dress
There's just enough to make some man a mess
She tears away the veil
With her fingernails

She came out high and kicking
While the band played "Hey good lookin'"
Do you hear something ticking?

Did somebody tell her?
You can really be redeemed
Could she actually be?
As desperate as she seems
She's tearing at the seams
She's going to extremes
Nobody told her it was a sin
So she's pulling out the pin

She's taping up her hands
Just as a boxer will
They started laughing
But if looks could kill
She'd take them down right now
She's covering her mouth
With some unholy vow
There's nothing more to say
This is her wedding day

Full of shattered glass and mayhem
Not one softly whispered amen
When the shock announcement dawns
And the smoke begins to thin
Where the world without her ends
And the next one begins
She's pulling out the pin
