Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who shot him in the back, peacetime
Who took him by surprise, tippy toes
You can't bury that door three times
Hide my eyes four times
I'm gonna sink my teeth into
[Verse 2]
Kansas, Kansas
Kansas, Kansas
Kansas, Kansas
Kansas, Kansas
[Verse 3]
I'll reach a higher plain
When I speak so slow and hardly breath
They're gonna run out of shapes
When they fetch my family
I-I-I-I must confess, I'm gonna see that man again
I'm gonna turn back the clock and set foot in Kansas
I'm goin' to
[Verse 4]
Kansas, Kansas
Kansas, Kansas
Kansas, Kansas
Kansas, Kansas
[Verse 5]
(Time) I'm gonna shoot him by the clock, peace
(Time) I'm gonna shoot him in the legs, peace
(Time) I'm gonna bury that door, meantime (Nothing to lose but time)
You're gonna pick him off the floor three times (Push)
[Verse 6]
Now I-I-I-I'm a man
{(Until they've sunken their eyes)}
And I-I-I-I'm alive
{(There's no humiliation here)}
I-I-I-I'm must confess {(It's only bones for sale)}
{I'm gonna carry that man}
[Verse 7]
(Time) I'm gonna shake him by the hand
I'm gonna sleep in foreign lands (Time)
I'm gonna turn back the clock
I'm goin' to Kansas in the spring
Goin' to
[Verse 8]
Kansas, Kansas
Kansas, Kansas
Kansas, Kansas
Kansas, Kansas
