lyrics

I don't know what space I'm in
All I see is red and white
My heart is in a hurry
It's got me short of breath
I don't know what state I'm in

Last night I had a dream that I was Superman
Catching bullets with my teeth
Then I was that girl
Begging with my eyes
I don't know what state I'm in

Before you kill a lonely soldier
Look the young man in the eye
Tell him it's not you I'm killing boy
Even if it's you who has to die

We were rolling on a sea of sand
Desert sailing in the night
Then I was in pieces
Blowing through the wind
Exploding in a million points of light

Before you kill a lonely soldier
Take the young man by the hand
Don't you know your life is nothing more
Than just footsteps in the sand

There are people gathered round me now
Red and white have turned to blue
Faces I don't know
And ones I recognize
I don't know what space I'm in

Before you kill a lonely soldier
Walk the young man to the ledge
Tell him we are so proud of you son
And then push him off the edge

Before you kill a lonely soldier
Before you kill a lonely boy
Before you kill kill kill kill
Kill a mother's only joy
