"Snare Drum" lyrics

We melt in the desert heat
And no matter where we put our feet
Feel my body cry
Every step
Is a land mine
I pray for rain to fall
But when nobody hears my call
We set off the guns
Into the sky
Rain for everyone

And even when we can't see the place we started from
We keep on marching on, to the sound, to the sound of the snare drum...

Drag my love like a string of cans
No rattle when you drag in sand
Fillin' to the brim
All my love
Is abandoned
Why don't you send me home
I'm down to skin and bone
And I need some rest
This camouflage
Is a Devil's dress

And even when we can't see the place we started from
We keep on marching on, to the sound, to the sound of the snare drum...

What I would do to be a baby once again
What I would give to make my enemies my friends
And even though I can't stand the thing that I've become
I keep on marching on
I keep on marching on
I keep on marching on
Well, I keep on
