Simple Minds - Today I Died Again lyrics

The human drum Beats a rhythm of life The clothes he wears Date back to the war He talks alot Often to himself She don't say much Just cuts his hair She can't remember Before the heat He can't remember His wife's christian name Paint me a picture Towers in sand America can fall Today i died again I died again I died today Today i died again I died again I died today Back to a year Back to a youth Of men in church and drug cabarets Is this the age Of empires and dance Oh what a world Oh what a world She can't remember Before this heat He can't remember His wife's christian name Paint me a picture Bodies in sand Presidents can fall Today i died again I died again I died today Today i died again I died again I died today Lyrics : j kerr music : simple minds (c) emi publishing ltd reproduced without permission
