"Foxhole" lyrics

"Foxhole"

Soldier boy stands at a full salute
He wants your orders to execute
Send him out 'neath the screaming red lights
In a narrow ditch for the funny fights

Foxhole, foxhole - no more danger
Foxhole, foxhole - where's my guardian angel
Foxhole, foxhole - oh no

You show me the war, I don't know what for
You show me the war but the war 's such a bore

In the line of duty, in the line of fire
A heartless heart is my proper attire

Foxhole, foxhole - too much danger
Foxhole, foxhole - where's my guardian angel
Foxhole, foxhole - too much danger

The flashing sword has been explored
The perfect slice, perfect slice of life

I feel the shells hit, moonlight web
Goodbye arms, so long, head

Foxhole, foxhole - too much danger
Foxhole, foxhole - hello guardian angel
Foxhole, foxhole - no more danger

You pin me down, go ahead it's a cinch
You pin me down, you'll feel the pinch
I was trained for fights

Foxhole, foxhole...
