== Lyrics ==

take my hands severed at the wrists
my turned palms how they run together in a kiss
through all my pride i know my will will be undone
and i'm a shadow of your hope
and your love

please take this child keep her if you can
sheath her smile walk with your hands upon her back

lay cover on the ground should she be pinned down

oh my the helicopter heart beats a four-four time
and tears through the atmosphere in a jagged line

we'll make our pact with a missile's low arc through the sky
and plan our attacks and lay our bodies side by side

and plant them in the ground should we be cut down

oh my the helicopter heart beats a four-four time
and tears through the atmosphere in a jagged line
