Some people know just what they want |
|
They stare straight into the sun |
|
And some they stand in no mans land |
|
Waving at the devil that they know and the devil that they don't |
|
As the gods smile down into the bowl of passions |
|
I can feel when the thunder's coming |
|
But fate comes quicker than a bullet to the back of the head |
|
Halfway across the bridge is when I realise what I've done |
|
But I cannot chase the sunset any quicker than I'm going |
|
And I'm going like I never begun |
|
And I thought that I believed in all the things that you sanctify |
|
Bitter is the taste of freedom -more empty than the sky |
|
And the taste of freedom is the thing that you won't deny |
|
Through the hours of shell-hole desperation |
|
Waiting, waiting - out here in no mans land |
|
Waving at the devil that I know and the devil that I don't |
|
More empty than the sky |
