Celebration Guns - Stars, Kevin Drew

and so tomorrow there will be another number

for the one who had a name

desert wind and a perverse desire to win

history buried in shame

all the beating drums,

celebration guns,

the thunder and the laughter,

the last thing they remember

all the beating drums,

celebration guns,

the thunder and the laughter,

the last thing they remember

and then the next day,

how will you know your enemy?

by their color or your fear?

one by one, you can cage them in your freedom

make them all disappear

six hundred sixty-six hundred sixty days

two guards for one uncharged

this morning’s papers, ink stains my fingers

my hands grow darker everyday

all the beating drums,

celebration guns,

the thunder and the laughter,

the last thing they remember

all the beating drums,

celebration guns,

the thunder and the laughter,

the last thing they remember

all the beating drums,

celebration guns,

the thunder and the laughter,

the last thing they remember

all the beating drums,

celebration guns,

the thunder and the laughter,

the last thing they remember

good night, sleep light stranger

good night, sleep light stranger

good night, sleep light stranger
