lyrics

EY: B
4/4

VERSE 1:

B

As this truck lurks slowly forward

F#

I'm in the front seat driving

E

There's potholes to look out for
And no hope of arriving

VERSE 2:

The sun lay down in the back after
Being punched out in the darkness
We drove off to the horizon
As the moon rose up behind us

VERSE 3:

The bugs were think and heavy
They smelled the sweet sweat on me
Well I find I lose my patience
But it's that fight that draws them to me
(End on C#m)

VERSE 4:

Is it for the blood and the glory
Or their sense of achievement?
Do they do this for their family?
Or are they working for the government?
(End on C#m)

INSTRUMENTAL:

F# F# E G#m

F# F# E B

F# F# E G#m

F# F# E B E B F# F#

VERSE 5:

The branches brush my forehead
The leaves, they comb my hair
Swept my hat up off my head
Out of reach, beyond repair

VERSE 6:

The anxious arms of the deadwood
Reach out
Trying dear to hold me
A million bats around us
Make what they do look easy

VERSE 7:

The dancing of the serpents
Nocturnal and brilliant
I wish that I was one of them
I wish that I was one of them
(Ends on C#m)

VERSE 8:

Is it for the blood and the glory
Or their sense of achievement?
Do they do this for their family?
Or are they working for the government?
(End on C#m)
