Now all of the planes have landed

And the soldiers are in their beds

Smoke rises from their clothing

And sweet dreams through their heads



Truth faced leaves a strange taste

When joy and sadness meet

A country rain on a city street

This life is bittersweet



The boy with the bloated belly

Hears today's trucks arrive

He puts down his baby sister

And makes his way outside



Truth faced leaves a stragne taste

When joy and sadness meet

A country rain on a city street

This life is bittersweet



Everyone's a novelist

And everyone can sing

But no one talks when the TV's on...



The lightening flashed, and the thunder rolled

Dark clouds filled the sky

A country rain on a city street

This life is bittersweet
