All laid over This pain will drown out the sun Mother, I'm coming home But the war has just begun
All the boys will await the arising tide On a pier with a traveled gun I like the adrenaline, it's like a fucking drug Mother, I'm coming home
I've discovered dreams that speak in tongues Mother, my mind it runs Cause the war has just begun
Every night I can hear the approaching high In a hole but I fear I'd run I've got a thing for the edge of a life to come undone Mother, I'm coming home
(Ooh-ooh, la-da-da...)
Old and tired Scarred and bruised to the bone Mother, I'm coming home And the war has just been won
All my friends can await the big ships to arrive But I'd rather not join the fun I need a minute to maybe soak in the sight Of a town that I came from
