Rockhead Warchild Lyrics

Burn these fields, pave them black
Leave this place and I'll never look back
Fill my mind with your silent streets
A sea of waving heat

Could be a lover
like in your wildest dreams
I run for cover
Come apart at the seams
Just like a mother
who's wasted and scared
Bury me in the rain

Oh warchild, my mama says

Bury me in an unmarked grave
And wash my ashes again and again
I was born to trouble
I was born to pain
Bury me in the rain

Oh warchild, my mama says

Now they're screaming,
running wild, child
What's wrong now? wharchild
I will kill all of the lies you tell
It's your hell, warchild

Oh mercy mercy me
I can't find no light to see
And the streets, they get so cold
And the nights will make you old
Is there nothing I can do
before it tears me in two

Oh mercy mercy me, child
Why can't they let me be?
Is it something that I've done
Keeps me always on the run?
Is there something I can say
Is there nothing I can do
before it tears me in two

Child, get out
Can't you tell me
Can't you tell me, child?

Could be a lover
like in your wildest dreams
I run for cover
Come apart at the seams
Just like a mother
who's wasted and scared
Bury me in the rain

Now I'm a liar, I am greed
I light a fire and burn to be freed

But still this memory
hangs round my head
Everything you said

Bury me in the rain
Bury me in the rain, oh in the rain
