Guided by Voices
Back to the Navy
I figured it out, I walk through the crowd
They told me the sun was going to shine again
I woke up in screams from voices in dream
Who told me tuition's going to climb again
Comic mayor cuts the ribbon
Down the stream release the prisoners
Back to the Navy now
Attention all shoppers
Red lights are show stoppers instantly
Back to the Navy
I'm carving a path to flee from the wrath
The hairs on the back of my neck would rise again
Imposing the scheme to startle that dream
And weeping tears from velvet Elvis streak again
Save the flags before they burn them
Have my stripes I have not earned them
Back to the Navy now
Attention shoppers
Red lights are show stoppers instantly
Back to the Navy
Send up the flares in unconditional surrender you have found me
Where I once walked into a garden of heads now I am dead
With salted breath the whores delivered many offerings to please
To bring me to my knees
And now I see
That I got work to do
I must return
To milk the truth
To plant the seed
To build a faulty bridge
To wave us out
In front of the
Oncoming tidal wave
To watch us drown again
Now you see me don't you?
