There's blood on the thorn)
Alone in the dark

There's blood on the thorn
The snails on the runway
A comet is born)

Trawling the [D]desert
The whole press- card jive
Tempting the guns

To be sure he's alive

Dictating impressions
For memoirs to come
The sky held its breath
The stones were dumb
They blew [Am]his driver
[Bb]Out of the jeep
Head[C]lines on Sundays
Make [Eb]editors [Cm]weep

[Bb]All of these rhymes
[C]Don't stand a prayer
In des[Eb]perate times

Nobody knows)
