Lyrics
Military Clothes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The river runs swollen with the spring rains. How will you pay for it?
In your tinfoil armor, coming up singing as you were born again. Washed in muddy water, will you recover from the stain when they call you by that unfamiliar name? In the flat land of west Texas, telephone poles and the evening train. I saw you at the station, waiting for the slow release again. Washed my hands of diesel, but it burns my eyes like smoke to see you standing in your military clothes.
