lyrics

Night down and one year older
Ceasefire for all the soldiers
Smoke-stung and lazy-eyed,
They face civilian life

We’ve pulled the pin on this war
We’ve fought the fight we came here for
In pairs at every door,
We will uphold the law

Run cables through the debris, best
To keep us linked in loneliness
We’ll run transmitter tests
We’ll beat this wilderness

The distant thrum of humvees
An angry sound like killer bees
The smell of antifreeze
And you, caught up in me

I held you like a token,
The lines of contact broken
Dogtags and firearms
The trenches in your palms

I held your eyes for too long
Crack-crackle burned the ozone
I’ve lightning in my mouth
And my radio is out
No word, no flares, no shouts
Tonight we’re pulling out.
