I drove a tank in on the left
  I hid a rifle on the right
  When she said I see a tunnel
  And at the end I see a light
  I see fire on the water
  On the right bank and the left
  And she smiles when she wears the iron curtain as a dress
  
  I said come on
  Come on
  You're tellin me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up
  Come on
  You're tellin me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut
  
  I see a preacher with a secret
  And he dare not make a sound
  I see the smoke and fire
  And the market burning down
  I see a tulip on the grave
  Of a lover who confessed
  I'm a soldier and a poet
  But I'm a dancer at best
  
  I said come on
  Come on
  You're tellin me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up
  Come on
  You're tellin me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut
  I said come on
  You're tellin me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up
  Come on
  You're tellin me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut
  
  Yes baby yes
  I'm burnin houses baby
  I'm burnin bridges baby
  Yes baby yes
  I'm burnin houses baby
  I'm burnin bridges baby
  
  I drove a tank in on the left
