Soldier's Grin

In my head, there's a city at night
 Static gauge, with the rush and the lights
 United's concourse you look very fine
 But this place here is no friend of mine
 And what you know can only mean one thing
 And what you know can only mean one thing
 Rooted to the place that you sprang from
 And this dirt was a building before
 Shut it down before they opened the doors
 Don't shout, don't holler, don't you cry
 What has passed, we'll just leave it behind
 And I rode horse-shapéd fire dragging stereo wire
 And we rode chemicals until the breaking of dawn
 And I rose over a town raised up by the sound of its drone
 And I rose higher like horses, but can't make the horses
 Lay down
 This place here is no friend of mine
 What's passed, we'll just leave it behind
 And what you know can only mean one thing
 And what you know can only mean one thing
 Rooted to the place that you sprang from
