21 gun salute

21 gun salute

i guess i saw it in my tv show

with the look of the sun on the city-scape

i caught the subway home with a belly-ache

when you look in the face of my friends

when i try to talk with a cloudy head

i keep fucking it up

and it's tough

maybe it's just that i'm out of luck

it all goes downhill after the rains

after the floods

only mountains retain the shape

retain the blood

all the secrets you've kept till now

you'll keep till the grave

21 gun salute

i had to put the body to rest

i guess i saw it in my fevered sleep

with a cough to wake up in the morning breeze

it all goes downhill after the rains

after the floods

only mountains retain the shape

retain the blood

all the secrets you've kept till now you'll keep till the grave

all slow to face when i'm wrong enough

long shall we wait for another one

it all goes downhill after the rains

after the floods

only mountains retain the shape

retain the blood

and all your secrets

gone
