Oildrips

Tied my shoes, kissed my wife
and waved the sun goodbye
Next time I see his light
will be under a desert sky
When all else seems to fail
you know in government we trust
shackles 'round our ankles
as our bones begin to rust

Asleep beneath the palm trees
laid out in freedom's rest
stretching as far as I can reach
trying so hard to forget
about the landmines sitting next to me
and the angel of death
He's been circling like a vulture
hanging just above my head

My heart still kicks
My lungs they swell
The oil drips
as the bodies start to smell

Death came graceful
and stepped into the light
He said take my hand son
but I just waved goodbye
I've got to

Shoot through the sun again
We're halfway home now

I turned 21 on Tuesday
and I took 15 shots of sand
Dried out my mouth 'til I couldn't speak
but it wasn't hard to stand
The devil he just laughed
sent his best regards and love
calling me back home
but lord he knows
I was meant for up above

Or maybe not
It's hard to tell
My eyes can't see if there's
a bottom to the well

Death be patient
and take a step aside
You must be mistaken
it's just not my time
I've got to

Shoot through the sun again
We're halfway home now

Long live the free
bathe in black gold
