Tourniquet Lyrics

One more night on this mountain top

One more night up above the dirt

I saw her behind every dead man's eyes

Shining though the shadows of the skies

From where I sit she's a tourniquet

Pooling blood caked in mud

Firestorm wrapped around my right arm

Friendly fire down in Vietnam

One more sun sets and I'll slip away

Waving to the day

One more night one more look at the water

Washing me away

Fire canon smoke explode and push me deep into the earth

A hundred miles, dead juveniles, smiles in the dirt

I sit and stare as the dusk clings to the air

Don't miss a minute

Hit the deck, the last smoke of cigarettes

Let those words linger on her breath

One more sun sets and I'll slip away

Waving to the day

One more night one more look at the water

Washing me away

Fire canon smoke explode and push me deep into the earth

A hundred miles, dead juveniles, smiles in the dirt
