Through these fields of destruction Baptisms of fire I’ve witnessed your suffering As the battle raged high And though they did hurt me so bad In the fear and alarm You did not desert me My brothers in arms There’s so many different worlds So many different suns And we have just one world But we live in different ones Now the sun’s gone to hell And the moon riding high Let me bid you farewell Every man has to die But it’s written in the starlight And every line in your palm We’re fools to make war On our brothers in arms ---

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one Drying in the colour of the evening sun Tomorrow’s rain will wash the stains away But something in our minds will always stay Perhaps this final act was meant To clinch a lifetime’s argument That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could For all those born beneath an angry star Lest we forget how fragile we are ---

One day-doubtless, cloudless, bright We’ll shake away the shadows of eternal night It’s just the storm before the calm Like the life held in your palm - it’s clay, one day We’ll walk and be like giants, we’ll all be honest men I go back to my blindness so that I may see again A woman standing on a hill is gazing out to sea Dreaming of a new age waiting there for me I call her from a distance and she smiles into the sun And men and gods begin their dance, for their time has begun And holy wars extended and battlefields of pain Washed away, forgotten, in the perfect rain ---

Here comes the rain again Falling on my head like a memory Falling on my head like a new emotion I want to walk in the open wind I want to talk like lovers do I want to dive into your ocean, is it raining with you? So baby talk to me, like lovers do Walk with me, like lovers do Talk to me, like lovers do ---

Scarecrow on a wooden cross Blackbird in the barn Four hundred empty acres that used to be my farm I grew up like my daddy did My grandpa cleared this land When I was five I walked the fence while grandpa held my hand Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow This land fed a nation This land made me proud And Son I’m just sorry there’s no legacy for you now Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow ---

When are you gonna come down When are you going to land I should have stayed on the farm I should have listened to my old man You know you can’t hold me forever I didn’t sign up with you I’m not a present for your friends to open This boy’s too young to be singing the blues So goodbye yellow brick road, where the dogs of society howl You can’t plant me in your penthouse, I’m going back to my plough Back to the howling old owl in the woods hunting the horny back toad Oh I’ve finally decided my future lies beyond the yellow brick road ---

Broken hands on broken ploughs, Broken treaties, broken vows, Broken pipes, broken tools, People bending broken rules. Hound dog howling, bull frog croaking, Everything is broken. ---

They don’t look on my face They tell me every time that I’m too young for life But I need a taste And I cannot wait until they say it’s right I’m gonna leave tonight And then I won’t let go, the streets will show I will run the lights Let them try to tell me no no no They gonna knock on you They gonna knock on you You know it’s true You and me know I say we can break down the wall You and me I say we can break down the wall ---

Good morning Worm your honour The crown will plainly show The prisoner who now stands before you Was caught red handed showing feelings Showing feelings of an almost human nature This will not do The evidence before the court is Incontrovertible, there’s no need for The jury to retire In all my years of judging I have never heard before of Some one more deserving The full penalty of law The way you made them suffer Your exquisite wife and mother Fills me with an urge to defecate Since my friend you have revealed your deepest fear I sentence you to be exposed before your peers Tear down the wall ---

I’ve built walls, A fortress deep and mighty, That none may penetrate. I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain. It’s laughter and it’s loving I disdain. I am a rock, I am an island. ---

Hey there, it’s good to see you again It never felt right calling this just friends I’m happy if you’re happy with yourself Take off your shirt, your shoes Those skinny jeans I bought for you We’re diving in, there’s nothing left to lose I’m gonna break down these walls I built around myself I wanna fall so in love with you and no one else Could ever mean half as much to me as you do now Together we’ll move on, just don’t turn around Let the walls break down ---

Everybody’s got their problems ain’t no new news here I’m the same old trouble you’ve been havin’ for years Don’t confuse the problem with the issue girl It’s perfectly clear, just a human desire to have you come near Wanna put my arms around you Feel your breath in my ear You can bend me you can break me But you’d better stand clear When the walls come tumblin’ down When the walls come crumblin’ crumblin’ When the walls come tumblin’ tumblin’ Tumblin’ tumblin’ down ---

Lonely is the night when you find yourself alone Your demons come to light and your mind is not your own Lonely is the night when there’s no one left to call You feel the time is right–(say) the writin’s on the wall It’s a high time to fight when the walls are closin’ in Call it what you like–It’s time you got to win Lonely, lonely, lonely–your spirit’s sinkin’ down You find you’re not the only stranger in this town ---

I am a poor, wayfaring stranger Traveling through this world alone And there’s no sickness, toil or danger In that bright land to which I go And I’m going there to see my mother And I’m going there no more to roam And I’m only going over Jordan And I’m only going over home now [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-speak-to-me-only-in-song-lyrics/658502.md?page=171) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-speak-to-me-only-in-song-lyrics/658502.md?page=173)
