Snare Drum

We melt in the desert heat
No matter where we put our feet
Feel my body cry
'Cause every step's like a landmine
And I pray for rain to fall
But nobody hears my call
We set off the guns into the sky
Rain for everyone

And even though we can't see the place we started from
We keep on marching on
To the sound, to the sound of the snare drum

To the sound of the snare drum
To the sound, sound, sound of the s-s-s-snare drum

Drag my love like a string of cannons
That rattle when you drag in the sand
Filled it to the brim
And all my love is abandoned
And why don't you send me home?
'Cause I'm down to skin and bone
And I need some rest
This camouflage is a devil's dress

And even though we can't see the place we started from
We keep on marching on
To the sound, to the sound of the snare drum

To the sound, sound, sound of the s-s-s-snare drum

What I would do to be a baby once again
What I would give to make my enemies my friends
'Cause even though I can't stand the thing that I've become
Well, I keep on marching on
Well, I keep on marching on, oh no
Well, I keep on
Well, I keep on
Well, I keep on, oh, oh
