The Cure - Boys Don't Cry

Killing an Arab

Standing on a beach
With a gun in my hand
Staring at the sea
Staring at the sand

Staring down the barrel
At the Arab on the ground
To see his open mouth
But I hear no sound

I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an Arab

I can turn and walk away, or I can fire the gun
Staring at the sky, staring at the sun
Whichever I choose, it amounts to the same
Absolutely nothing

I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an Arab

I feel the steel butt jump
Smooth in my hand
Staring at the sea, staring at the sand
Staring at myself
Reflected in the eyes of
The dead man on the beach (the dead man on the beach)

I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an Arab

(Over so)
