lyrics

Out here I stand beside you
Broken bones and broken gun
Well, I woke up in your cottage
Blinded by the morning sun
Stranded in a foreign village
We can't hide, we can't run
So we're drinking Turkish coffee
While we hide from what we've done

I'm running from the parrot's missile
In a village, a foreign village
I never should have blown the whistle
Loot and pillaging the village

I'm hearing quiet voices
Take them out one by one
Watch your careful planning crumble
'Neath the force of what's begun
Hanging from a dying treetop
Reaching slowly for my gun
There won't be a happy ending
This ain't business, this is fun
