I'm a soldier and a poet
I said, "Come on, come on
Even with my mouth sewn up
Come on
Come on
You're tellin' me to tell the truth
When she said, "I see a tunnel
You're tellin' me to see the truth
I see fire on the water
You're tellin' me to see the truth
Even with my mouth sewn up
You're tellin' me to tell the truth
Come on
Of a lover who confessed
I said, "Come on
I see a tulip on the grave
When she said, "I see a tunnel
I see the smoke and fire
I'm burnin' bridges baby
And she smiles when she wears the iron
Curtain as a dress
You're tellin' me to tell the truth
I'm burnin' bridges baby
And at the end I see a light"
Yes, baby yes
On the right bank and the left
You're tellin' me to see the truth
And he dare not make a sound
Even with my eyes sewn shut"
You're tellin' me to tell the truth
Even with my eyes sewn shut"
Come on
And she smiles when she wears the iron
And the market burning down
Yes, baby yes
I'm burnin' houses baby
And at the end I see a light"
I'm burnin' houses baby
I see a preacher with a secret
I hid a rifle on the right
I said, "Come on, come on
Curtain as a dress
You're tellin' me to tell the truth
Even with my mouth sewn up
You're tellin' me to see the truth
Even with my mouth sewn up
You're tellin' me to see the truth
I drove a tank in on the left
Even with my eyes sewn shut"
I see fire on the water
On the right bank and the left
But I'm a dancer at best
Even with my eyes sewn shut"
Even with my mouth sewn up
I said, "Come on
Come on
I said, "Come on, come on
