lyrics

TIN SOLDIER (D. Floyd)
Came racing by at the speed of light.
I didn’t think you were ever gonna come back down.
The outskirts of town don’t feel right.
Miles behind the soul and speed of sound.

Tin soldiers on the rooftop singing:
Nobody’s leaving here breathing.
Just don’t know if I think that’s a shame.
When I get to go back home,
I won’t feel so alone.
How I can’t wait for that day.

Every knock on the door makes me wonder where you’ve been.
I should’ve known better than to bet on the unbeliever.
If you showed up I don’t know if I’d let you in.
Put my family on the edge, you’re just looking for a friend.
