Warchild - Rockhead

Burn these fields, pave them black

Leave this place and I’ll never look back

Fill my mind with your silent streets

A sea of waving heat

Could be a lover

Like in your wildest dreams

I run for cover

Come apart at the seams

Just like a mother

Who’s wasted and scared

Bury me in the rain

Oh warchild, my mama says

Bury me in an unmarked grave

And wash my ashes again and again

I was born to trouble

I was born to pain

Bury me in the rain

Oh warchild, my mama says

Now they’re screaming

Running wild, child

What’s wrong now?

wharchild

I will kill all of the lies you tell

It’s your hell, warchild

Oh mercy mercy me

I can’t find no light to see

And the streets, they get so cold

And the nights will make you old

Is there nothing I can do

Before it tears me in two

Oh mercy mercy me, child

Why can’t they let me be?

Is it something that I’ve done

Keeps me always on the run?

Is there something I can say

Is there nothing I can do

Before it tears me in two

Child, get out

Can’t you tell me

Can’t you tell me, child?

Could be a lover

Like in your wildest dreams

I run for cover

Come apart at the seams

Just like a mother

Who’s wasted and scared

Bury me in the rain

Now I’m a liar, I am greed

I light a fire and burn to be freed

But still this memory

Hangs round my head

Everything you said

Bury me in the rain

Bury me in the rain, oh in the rain
