Masochist

Once we jumped off the boat and into the jungle

We cranked up the volume and marched to our own drummer

Many nasty things could await me

Noise, discipline, had to be maintained

Sounds carried incredibly far in the jungle

Had it been heard by any bad boys?

Suddenly my brain screamed - - - "Stop!"

And my right leg froze in mid-air

And my heart slammed in my throat

The next few seconds took forever...

My hands were shaking

And my nervous system was in some kind of shock

Then, silence got blown apart
