You walk all alone
and you listen to no-one as you roam
You're shivering
and it's below freezing on the inside
Funny. Just a few moments ago you were burning up
Well, you're alone and you get to thinking,
staring at that last sip of vodka at the bottom of your cup
What's keeping you here?
Go ahead, touch the sun, kissing the horizon
Just don't burn yourself when you cross the line
C'mon kid, you'll be fine.
Just don't forget to bring your guns
Now you're in the middle of 'No-mans-land'
Who knows the way out of this fix?
Of all the fame and glory they've promised
But the stench burns your face, and it makes you feel sick
You know that feeling you get
when you're ready to regurgitate
every little bit of your insides
The way you know the world's gonna see
everything you've kept from it
and there's no safe place to hide
That's it. You've done it.
You came back with every finger
with the exception of your right index finger and thumb
That's what happens when you try to do death's job better
You just try too hard for some teenaged boy with a gun
Oh well, you're better off here anyway
Reading papers on how the front row has a better view on the slaughter
Why would you want to go back anyway?
You're about to become a father
telling stories even the wise could not tell
Of a war in which every man could not fight to live
but had to live to fight for himself
!!!
