Waiting For the Marines

Waiting, waiting,waiting, waiting, waiting.

Waiting for the marines.

Waiting, waiting, waiting.

Waiting for the, waiting for the m-m-m-marines, marines.

Letters from home delivered days before and still unopened.

Wired into the listening post on the perimeter.

Wired into each other.

Too tired to sleep.

Too tired to really be awake.

Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting.

Waiting for the marines, marines.

Waiting, waiting, waiting, w-waiting,

Waiting, waiting for the m-marines.

Over your earphones through crackling static,

You can hear your heart beat.
