[00:-1.00]
[00:00.00]
[00:44.75]Remember the morning we dug up your gun
[00:49.71]The worms in the barrel, the hanging sun
[00:55.14]Those first nervous evenings of perfume and gin
[01:00.06]The lost smell on your breath as I helped you get it in
[01:05.74]The rush of your lips, the feel of your name
[01:11.02]The beat in your heart, the devil's arcade
[01:16.53]
[01:20.08]You said "Heroes are needed, so heroes get made"
[01:25.61]Somebody made a bet, somebody paid
[01:31.12]The cool desert morning and nothing to save
[01:36.30]Just metal and plastic where your body caved
[01:41.68]The slow games of poker with Lieutenant Ray
[01:47.03]In the ward with the blue walls, a sea with no name
[01:51.94]Where you lie adrift with the heroes of the devil's arcade
[01:57.95]
[02:01.67]You sleep and you dream, your buddies Charlie and James
[02:08.01]And wake with a thick desert dust on your skin
[02:14.59]
[02:53.98]Voice says "don't worry, I'm here
[02:59.00]Just whisper the word tomorrow in my ear"
[03:04.62]House on a quiet street, a home for the brave
[03:09.63]A glorious kingdom with the sun on your face
[03:14.96]Rising from a long night as dark as the grave
[03:19.98]On a thin chain of next moments and something like faith
[03:25.53]On a morning to order a breakfast to make
[03:30.94]A bed draped in sunshine, a body that waits
[03:36.28]For the touch of your fingers, the end of the day
[03:41.55]The beat of your heart, the beat of your heart
[03:46.90]The beat of your heart, the beat of your heart
[03:52.20]The beat of your heart, the beat of her heart
[03:57.70]The beat of your heart, the slow burning away
[04:02.90]Of the bitter fires of the devil's arcade
[04:09.54]
