Soldier's Grin

In my head it's a city at night

Static gauge with the rush and the lights

And on this concourse you look very fine

But this place here is no friend of mine

And what you know can only mean one thing

And what you know can only mean one thing

Rooted to the place that you sprang from

And this dirt was a building before

Tore it down before they opened the door

Don't shout, don't holler, don't you cry

What's past we'll just leave it behind

and I rode

horse-shaped fire draggin' stereo wire

and we rode

chemicals until the breaking of dawn

and I rose

over a town, raised up by the sound of its drum

and I rose

out on the porches, again making horses lay down

and this place here is no friend of mine

what's past, we'll just leave it behind

and what you know can only mean one thing

and what you know could only mean one thing

rooted to the place that you sprang from
