You're right that I should give in To the tides of an ocean war Painted like hate within But it's not me just one of those characters Go up the sandy ground Like a slave beneath a burning gun Trying to distract me Rush down the hill Look at 'em run Reach for my cluttered mind Dust off the logic's to stop my k** Blow room beside the pleasure ball Bring my girl in to watch my thrill
Back home Send me a plane I want to leave as a shadow Send me to wherever you please Over and over Long and slow Take my photos of loss Sell them on the street as souvenirs The pavement's scratched with poems you'd know About love and war And how the end is near Back home Send me a plane I want to leave as a shadow Bring me to wherever you please Over and over Long and slow
