Batting the ball again
Around the field of broken dreams
Trying your best to win but
Never like the way it turns out it seems
Keep looking down again
As you’re coming across as strange, my friend
(Chorus)
Leaving the army frightened
Sinking so low
And you lost all the naïve charm that you claimed to show
But can you dodge all the bullets that are trying to send you
Six feet below
Still tightly wrapped in the blanket as a barrier against the cold
Praised at the welcome home
Though you never really had a chance
Judged as a waif or stray
But just a victim of circumstance
Gained over twenty pounds
And then lost it again by the final round
Left a note to the counsellor
Tied plenty of knots in the rope to be sure
