Firepower Lyrics by David Sylvian

Firepower Lyrics

    He beats the door and breaks his watch
    Raids the fridge and eats the lot
    No room for silence, pause of thought
    To ease the hurt inside him


    They placed a barrel at his head
    Raging blind and rising
    Cursed by saints and all the rest
    He can't stand up for trying


    Shot through with anger and desire
    A mouth to feed, a room for hire
    He drinks 'goodbyes', the bottle dry
    Brutalised but smiling


    Causing casualties by the hour
    Outweighed by stars
    And firepower


    Causing casualties by the hour
    Waylayed by stars
    And firepower


    He beats the door and breaks the lock
    Afraid to sleep he won't let up
    No room for silence, pause or thought
    To ease the hurt inside him
