| Lyric: |
Moving deeper and deeper behind enemy lines Our pickup shakes and rattles on this war-torn highway Silence grows between us as we inch along Behind enemy lines The truck becomes a furnace in the mid-day heat Pull off in the shade before we both go crazy Grab yourself some sleep and I'll keep guard Behind enemy lines Danger hides among the trees I fight to stay awake But I'm sinking by degrees Ghosts rise before my eyes They're coming after me I wasn't hypnotized - hypnotized I hear some twigs breaking by the pickup truck I spring like a panther on a helpless soldier No time for hesitation when your life's at stake Behind enemy lines He cries out that he's hungry; he has no gun So I fry up some beans and add a pinch of poison He never knew what hit him, he went down so fast Behind enemy lines I go swimming in the lake Leeches cover me, my spirit starts to break I face the night alone, the leeches won't let go They cut me to the bone, to the bone Behind enemy lines (fade out) |
