Blood for Poppies

Salute the sun, I been sittin' here all night long

Haulin' rock over Buddha with a longhorn

Got a hole, rip the pocket off my uniform

With the black watch boys, get your heads down

Oh

Duty calls, but it's way too late, I'm too far gone

Waiting for God, oh, Hell, with my pants down

Crack the stash, then be quiet in the midday sun

I miss my dog and I miss my freedom

Oh, oh, oh

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 been gone for so long

Play the memories of you inside my head

So all these pictures of me burn and radiate

Watch the clouds, and I'm falling, falling through the cracks

Head beats, and my heart is pounding fast

Off the ground into the starry dark

Into your arms I'm falling

Oh, oh, oh

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, 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 by my side and I know I'm alright

(Miles away) Oh

(Feel like miles away) Oh
