Warpaint

It's hard to get away
From that cloud up there
That thin wind
Won't make it disappear
It's hard to get away
From that cloud up there
A silhouette or shadow
What does it matter

They have old reasons
To use new weapons
Technically dressed
For primitive action
The things they do
For territory and religion
Without giving us
Any real protection
Warpaint - not on the face
Warpaint - still in the heart

I'll read the last page first
It can't get much worse
I'll read the last page first
It can't get much worse

Tomorrow, not promised us
Tomorrow's promise is us
Tomorrows, not promised us
Tomorrow's promise is us

Like a rodent
I'll dig a hole to live in
This is not the way
I want to meet mother nature
This is not the way
I want to meet three sisters
This is not the way
I want to hold a conversation

And everytime you leave
I give you pitying eyes
And more than your share
Of good byes
Warpaint - not on the face
Warpaint - still in the heart

I'll read the last page first
It can't get much worse
I'll read the last page first
It can't get much worse

Tomorrow, not promised us
Tomorrow's promise is us
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
