Lyrics

Canter stole past the old silo
and when he saw the first light, he'd seen our heads hanging high.
Find forgot the way to go home.
More than just a fist fight, the field is blown.

And it's not the first time, and it won't be the last time,
we return bloodyheaded to peacetime.

As we go, can we go by two?
Can we dump the shells in shallow pools?

Because a phantom road is just a new one
and the way back past is paved and roan.
If we forget the way to get home (as we go can we go by two?)
we can bury our heads in solid ground (can we dump ourselves in shallow pools?)
