时长: 04:01
standing at the window[00:00:27]
a farmer's wife in oxford shire[00:00:30]
glances at the clock; it's nearly time for tea[00:00:35]
she doesn't see[00:00:38]
the phantom in the hedgerow dip its wings[00:00:40]
doesn't hear the engine sing[00:00:44]
but in the cockpit's techno glow[00:00:46]
behind the ray ban? shine[00:00:50]
the kid from cleveland[00:00:54]
in the comfort of routine[00:00:58]
scans his dials and smiles[00:00:59]
secure in the beauty of military life[00:01:03]
there is no right or wrong[00:01:10]
only tin cans and cordite and white cliffs[00:01:17]
and blue skies and flight flight flight[00:01:21]
the beauty of military life[00:01:30]
no questions only orders and flight, only flight[00:01:34]
what a beautiful sight in his wild blue dream[00:01:47]
the eternal child leafs through his war magazine[00:01:50]
and his kind uncle sam feeds ten trillion in change[00:01:54]
into the total entertainment combat video game[00:01:59]
and up here in the stands[00:02:04]
the fans are going wild[00:02:06]
the cheerleaders flip[00:02:08]
when you wiggle your hip[00:02:10]
and we all like the bit when you take[00:02:12]
the jeans from the refrigerator and[00:02:15]
then the bad guy gets hit[00:02:17]
and were you struck by the satisfying way[00:02:19]
the swimsuit sticks to her skin[00:02:23]
like bb gun days[00:02:25]
when knives pierce autumn leaves[00:02:28]
but that's okay see the children bleed[00:02:30]
it'll look great on the tv[00:02:32]
and in tripoli another ordinary wife[00:02:49]
stares at the dripping her old man hadn't[00:02:59]
time to fix[00:03:03]
too busy mixing politics and rhythm[00:03:04]
in the street below[00:03:07]
