The work day's done, it's time to go home
It's time to make decisions, I must make alone
For there's a battlefield between my home and me
And I must pass directly by the enemy
There's flashing lights straight ahead
The neon signs of the barrooms turn the sky blood red
I search for strength inside of me
I'm passing through the homeland of the enemy
Like a dreaming man, I'm in an open door
Then all the faded faces remind me I'm at war
I turn to leave and tremble when I see
The waiting patient eyes of the enemy
Their eyes shine bright they strike me blind
It's too late to runaway, surrenders on my mind
There's tears at home, by now she's missin' me
She'll know I'm in the arms of the enemy
