Blood For Poppies

Salute the sun, I've been sitting here all night long
Hauling rock over Buddha with the Longhorn
I got a hole so 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 Godot hell with my pants down
Cracked the stash sent me crying 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
He'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
I play the memories of you inside my head
So all those pictures of us burn and radiate
Watch the clouds and I'm falling, falling through the cracks
Head beats and the heart is pounding fast
Off the ground into the starry dark
Into your arms I'm falling

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
He's by my side, and I know I'm right

My brain, my body's fried
I've got to stay alive
I've gotta take a chance and keep on moving
Keep on moving

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
He's by my side, and I know I'm right

I don't know why they are calling on the radio
He's by my side, and I know I'm right
(I see your light from miles away)

I don't know why they are calling on the radio
He's by my side, and I know I'm alright
(I see your light from miles away)
(I see your light from miles away)
