The Soldier

I fell in line for your country
You take mine in the deep valley
It's about time you sing our praise now
(without you there...right down?)

I realized, I beat my brains out
It feels right in a Jesus halo
I walk back, feel for me now?
I look back but it's not the same (girl/route/group?)

I'm on time
You crossed that line
And your dreams all come back
And the scenes all go black

I'm on time, the dream is over
I shoot again to the British soldier
They're out of scale but that's how things go
What I see is a double single

I cross the heart of the sounds of a wind bag
Memories like anyone had
I get lost, with the (thin butter dingbat?)
We ought to face the consequence of that

I believe in cheating a ghost
It's his line so only god knows
The sandman and in between says
I read books but don't last to the first page

Life on the line
Dreams expire
And they never come back
You forever have that

I fell in line for your country
You take mine in the deep valley
It's about time you sing our praise now
(without you there...right down?)

I realized, I beat my brains out
It feels right in a Jesus halo
I walk back, feel for me now?
I look back but it's not the same (girl/route/group?)

I think twice
That's my advice
I wish you'd give it back
It's the good thoughts I lack

We know too well the dream is over
You throw work over your shoulder
The busy (man?) must have begun
Those are the sort of ideas I shun

The four walls, the skulls I'm cracking
(I miss god/ I'm misguided?)
Was all that was happening
We move up but the find ...?
We go down because we've reached our peak

Life on the line
Dreams expire
And they never come back
You forever have that

I'm on time, the dream is over
I shoot again to the British soldier
They're out of scale but that's how things go
What I see is a double single
Double single

I believe in cheating a ghost
It's his line so only god knows
The sandman and in between says
I read books but don't last to the first page
