[Verse 1] Comes and goes Like in fits and dizzy spells Like the weather And it blows Like it knows what's going wrong Like it's clever [Pre-Chorus] Has a name But the name goes unspoken Weather vanes Were all twisted and broken [Chorus] So soldier on, soldier on Soldier on Soldier on [Verse 2] Flailing to the whir of a snack machine And muted screams of an old regime And then oh Something gets in it The nightshade gets in it We were all fast asleep We were all so fast asleep
But you woke us You woke us from the strangest dream that an aubergine could ever know Would ever know Would ever know [Verse 2] Lava flows over crooks and craggy cliffs to the ocean And explodes in a steam heat fevered cyclical motion [Pre-Chorus] Has a name But the name goes unspoken It's in vain Cause the language is broken [Chorus] So cast your own, cast your own Cast your own Cast your own Soldier on, soldier on Soldier on, soldier on Soldier on, soldier on
