The yellow sun, Well it took the hand, Of a country boy, To a city in a far off land.
We made no mark, No shadow at all, On the ancient holy streets, Where I learned to crawl.
The broken and the bruised The young and the used, The sure and confused all here
Words will land on me, Then abandon me, Mangle, untangle me, Leave me on the floor
Rhymes they sprang in me, Summer sang in me, But summer sings in me no more.
Now I'm 25, I'm trying to stay alive, In a corner of the world, With no clear enemies to fight.
It's hot as hell, We're like butter on toast But there's no army in this world, That can fight a ghost.
The broken and the bruised The young and the used, The sure and confused all here
Words would land on me, Then abandon me, Leave me stranded, And lining on the door
Rhymes began in me, Summer sang in me, But summer sings in me no more.
Ooooo-oooo-ooooooo--oooooooooOOOOOOOooooooooo
(Listening to the cries The strangers The silence of the foreign grave Listening to the thunder The sky is strange Stretched over everyone Listening to the tales The child sings That goes for days and days Listening to the calls Shouts, frustration
At twenty-one I was born a son And on that day I knew I could kill
To protect the ones We put bullets in guns Or anything it takes To take a life until it's still
