about

Its a song about a story about a story. (Cowboys/Indians/Suicide Themed)

lyrics

(verse)
It was late '88 we were children in the sun
I had a wagon, and a woman, and a rusty Winchester
Then at the line we passed the time, trying to recreate the past
But its only a perspective that never ever lasts
Then the bang of the gun jolted my feet up off the ground
Like a heart in search of something thats lost but never found

(chorus)
A man in a field, he stands alone holding a flag in search of a home
Blood on his hands, greed in his eyes; all guns are out with nothing to hide
Chasing them trains, full speed ahead
Nothing can stop him the Redman is dead
Take what you want like nothing can end
Thats what they taught us thats what they said

(verse)
Go back home to the place where you used to close your eyes
Place your thoughts against the blackness and read between the lies
All the same when they came and knocked on my front door
They told us that they found her with pills across the floor
All these things they fade away like a memory can go
Waiting like a tumor that only wants to grow

(chorus)
A man in a field, he stands alone holding a flag in search of a home
Blood on his hands, greed in his eyes; all guns are out with nothing to hide
Chasing them trains, full speed ahead
Nothing can stop him the Redman is dead
Take what you want like nothing can end
Thats what they taught us thats what they said
Take what you want leave nothing behind
Feed the monster thats living inside
