the old man waves at nothing and i sit at the window with my legs closed glory lost hide your lesioned body hide your ragged clothes your rivers of restored swords goldfish and metermaids were slithered and kissed by napalm
you were here they punctured every orifice quivering, wet, and shiny you were here i thought i saw you running from the gas stinging eyes and child's tears a melody we can't forget cause when you left you took the whole world with you forgot a flaming city behind you were here
and rise, rise, rise the aviators fly boreasing bombs so delicate they pirouette the sky and down, down, down the tiny pellets flew gas creeps upon the rice fields breath in human stew
but you were here i thought i saw you running from the gas stinging eyes and child's tears a melody we can't forget cause when you left you took the whole world with you forgot a flaming city behind you were here
we wrapped our wounds with burnt leaves and revolution found a voice, but lost religion a brave new vision with copper creeds while we ate freedom and animal feed and wait for your return
and now you're back with baseball caps unsteady eyes averted to the ground they are curbing nightmares fractured in your skull we were so young then just stupid kids with loaded guns we were someone else then unspoken sins that we had done the shadow tribe we have become
but you were here i thought i saw you running from the gas stinging eyes and child's tears a melody we can't forget cause when you left you took the whole world with you forgot a flaming city behind you yes, when you left you took our whole world with you were here were here were here
