Back In The Village - 1998 Remastered Version
Turn the spotlights on the people
Switch the dial and eat the worm
Take your chances, kill the engine
Drop your bombs and let it burn
White flags shot to ribbons,
The truce in black and burned
Shellshock in the kitchen
Tables overturned
Back in the village again
In the village,
I'm back in the village again
Throwing dice now, rolling loaded
I see sixes all the way,
In a black hole and I'm spinning
As my wings get shot away
Questions are a burden
And answers are a prison for oneself
Shellshock in the kitchen
Tables start to burn
Back in the village again
In the village,
I'm back in the village again
No breaks on the inside,
Paper cats and burning barns
There's fox among the chickens,
And a killer in the hounds
Questions are a burden
And answers are a prison for oneself
Shellshock in the kitchen
Tables start to burn
Back in the village again
In the village,
I'm back in the village again
But still we walk into the valley
And others try to kill the inner flame
We're burning brighter than before
I don't have a number, I'M A NAME!
Back in the village again
In the village
I'm back in the village again
Back in the village again
In the village
I'm back in the village
Back in the village
Back in the village again
Switch the dial and eat the worm
Take your chances, kill the engine
Drop your bombs and let it burn
White flags shot to ribbons,
The truce in black and burned
Shellshock in the kitchen
Tables overturned
Back in the village again
In the village,
I'm back in the village again
Throwing dice now, rolling loaded
I see sixes all the way,
In a black hole and I'm spinning
As my wings get shot away
Questions are a burden
And answers are a prison for oneself
Shellshock in the kitchen
Tables start to burn
Back in the village again
In the village,
I'm back in the village again
No breaks on the inside,
Paper cats and burning barns
There's fox among the chickens,
And a killer in the hounds
Questions are a burden
And answers are a prison for oneself
Shellshock in the kitchen
Tables start to burn
Back in the village again
In the village,
I'm back in the village again
But still we walk into the valley
And others try to kill the inner flame
We're burning brighter than before
I don't have a number, I'M A NAME!
Back in the village again
In the village
I'm back in the village again
Back in the village again
In the village
I'm back in the village
Back in the village
Back in the village again
