We came out like a stream of bats
Under seven different shades of gray
Under seven different shades of gray
Making shadows through the snow white
Days of wonder
Of trees and floating cars
Days of wonder spent
My heart is far behind
Educated under God
Standing by the wall
Down the record breaking falls
By a rainbow made of stars
This may not leave a mark on me
Days of wonder spent
Ricocheting wild
A rainbow made of stars
(Days of wonder)
To start its morning crawl
My heart is far behind
Spreading out across the arc
(Days of wonder)
(Days of wonder)
Now take my body and my mind
Waiting for the break of dawn
Locust covered trail
A rainbow made of stars
Out there killing time
Behind the winter coated mule
Caravanning on the moonlit
Out there killing time
But I sure as hell was there
Into oblivion's open jaws
Tropical and warm
Standing by the wall
Polluted rays of filtered light
This may not leave a mark on me
Out there killing time
To walk a neutral line
Spreading out across the arc
Happy birthday to the war
Take my body and my mind
Now give me neither poverty
With one dozen poems in my ears
Under seven different shades of gray
Nor riches in my time
This may not leave a mark on me
Spreading out across the arc
Exploding from the well
Days of wonder spent
Standing by the wall
But I sure as hell was there
My heart is far behind
Slipping through the whirlpools
But I sure as hell was there
Happy birthday to the war
Resin covered skulls
(Days of wonder)
