Lyrics for Blood For Poppies

Salute the sun, I've been sitting here all night long Hauling rock, over Buddha with the longhorn Got a hole, rip a pocket off my uniform With the Black Watch boys, get your heads down Oh-oh-ohh Duty calls, but it's way too late, I'm too far gone Waiting for Godot, hell, with my pants down Cracked the stash, sent me crying in the midday sun I miss my dog, and I miss my freedom Oh-oh-ohh Oh-oh Oh-oh-ohh I don't know why they are calling on the radio They know I'm here just out of sight Don't know why they are calling on the radio It's by my side, and I know I'm right I don't know why they are calling on the radio They know I'm here just out of sight Don't know why they are calling on the radio It's by my side, and I know I'm right I hate the things I think about you when I'm all alone I know you're tough but I've been gone for so long Play the memories of you inside my head So all these pictures of us burn and radiate Watch the clouds, and I'm falling, falling through the cracks Head beats and the heart is pounding fast Off the ground into the starry dark Into your arms I'm falling Oh-oh-ohh (falling, falling) Oh-oh (falling, falling) Oh-oh-ohh (falling, falling) I don't know why they are calling on the radio They know I'm here just out of sight Don't know why they are calling on the radio It's by my side, and I know I'm right I don't know why they are calling on the radio They know I'm here just out of sight Don't know why they are calling on the radio It's by my side, and I know I'm right My brain, my body's fried I've got to stay alive I've gotta take a chance and keep on moving Keep on moving I don't know why they are calling on the radio They know I'm here just out of sight Don't know why they are calling on the radio It's by my side, and I know I'm right Don't know why they are calling on the radio It's on my side, and I know I'm right (I see your light from miles away) I don't know why they are calling on the radio It's on my side, and I know I'm alright (I see your light from miles away) Oh-oh-ohh (I see your light from miles away) Oh-oh Oh-oh-ohh
