I want you like thunder in the trees on the switch blade
Of my blue grass memory
Iâm a big sky, Iâm a helicopter flying by over jungles
And Amazons who bend to tie
Take positions Iâve known them hard enough to clarify for
Munitions and their sliding scopes and seeing eyes
On a white hill the scented soldiers come and go
To the wing-whipped language on the radio
Iâm a dark cloud Iâm circling on your soul tonight
And I need you baby Iâm going crazy in my cell tonight
Take your positions baby Iâve loved you hard enough to
Satisfy for munitions and slaves and baby our sliding
Scopes and seeing eyes
Itâs a theatre of war and every player drops his line
Iâm the break horse and Iâm stomping to the bar in time
You canât leave me behind
Iâve loved you hard enough to satisfy
Out of sights is out of mind
For sliding scopes and seeing eyes
Itâs a theatre of war
Itâs a cold word a hundred blue beneath the sea
Youâre the sunlight down here baby
Youâre the breeze to answer sailorâs dreams
Lying at anchor the world in all her feelings sway
Bent in penance
A supplicant on judgement day
You canât leave me behind
Iâve loved you hard enough to satisfy
Out of sights is out of mind
For sliding scopes and seeing eyes
Itâs a cold war my baby and every player drops his line
Iâm the break horse and Iâm stomping down the funky line
And I want you like thunder in the trees
And I want you down on my bended knees
