BLOOD FOR POPPIES
To lift the sun
I've been sitting here all night long
Rolling rock, over Buddah with the longhorn
Got a hole, rip a pocket off my uniform
With the black watch boys
Get your heads down
Duty calls, but it's way too late
I'm too far gone
Waiting for God
with my pants down
Crack the stash
Then be quiet in the midday sun
I miss my dog and I miss my freedom
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
They know I'm here, just out of sight
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
It's by my side and I know I'm right
I hate the things I think about you
when I'm all alone
I know you're tough
But I've been gone for so long
Play the memories of you
inside my head
So all of those pictures
will burn and radiate
Water the clouds, and I'm falling
Falling through the cracks
Head beats
And my heart is beating fast
Off the ground
Into the starry dark,
Into your arms
I'm falling
I pray my body's right
I've got to stay alive
I've got to take a chance and keep on moving
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
They know I'm here, just out of sight.
