Yellow Rock & Purple Tree

歌詞

I drove a tank in on the left I hid a rifle on the right When she said "I see a tunnel And at the end I see a light" I see fire on the water On the right bank and the left And she smiles when she wears the iron curtain as a dress I said come on, come on You're tellin' me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up Come on You're tellin' me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut I see a preacher with a secret And he dare not make a sound I see the smoke and fire And the market burning down I see a tulip on the grave Of a lover who confessed I'm a soldier and a poet But I'm a dancer at best I said come on, come on You're tellin' me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up Come on You're tellin' me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut I said come on You're tellin' me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up Come on You're tellin' me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut Yes baby yes I'm burnin' houses baby I'm burnin' bridges baby Yes baby yes I'm burnin' houses baby I'm burnin' bridges baby I drove a tank in on the left I hid a rifle on the right When she said "I see a tunnel And at the end I see a light" I see fire on the water On the right bank and the left And she smiles when she wears the iron curtain as a dress I said come on, come on You're tellin' me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up Come on You're tellin' me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut I said come on You're tellin' me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up Come on You're tellin' me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut
