First off, this is a great album. Mason is a wonderful musician, but i felt like too many people were dismissing "bullet" as some kind of happy go lucky tune. it's upbeat but in an ironic way. if you really listen or read the lyrics, you can see how this is about his girl cheating on him.

"All the kings horses and all the kings yen
Couldn't stop the abracadabra that invites these men
and all the alleyways in amsterdam could not compete
against the wall street speed in which you leave your feet"

and the line at the beginning about how the words get some coffee came to mean getting down.

this song sounds upbeat to make it ironic or cynical, but that just makes it better. like when someone has hurt you and you tell them bye and act upbeat when really you are ticked. anyway, still a great album and some great messages/lyrics in each song.
