Jason Vitelli - D-Day Lyrics

Pushing our way toward the droves of lurid life forms
In sarcophagi floating in a foreign sea
Suddenly we have reached the shore, flag warning: Do Not Enter

Yet we will break (break) right past this caution tape
To find where had it all gone wrong,
And though (though) the enemy fires at our fleet
Will we be led to safety?
Whoa

Often I ache fiercely for a new horizon
From whence the great cliffs serenade (ah, ah, ah)
Perhaps off the beaten path we'll find a new dance

Casting a stone eroding illusion to the winds,
And unfurl the colors bleeding through the mist
And see if we should take up arms
To lead the world to safety
Whoa

Rat droppings now cover the floor
Of which we can't scotch-guard
As we've ingested our own poison
Vertigo sows confusion
A virulent minefield is laying waste prisoners to certain fate
Who cry, "Where had it all gone wrong?"

And I lie upon this ravaged beach, wave to all that are striving to keep
Their head above tide, au revoir!
Ooh
