lyrics

spinnin' 'round on the centrifuge of anger
duckin' underneath a tidal wave of hate
spillin' blood on the pavement of the war path
I'll meet you there at half past eight

threadbare and wound around the finger of an angel
my mother was a soldier and my father was a nurse
I'm depending on the kindness of strangers
yeah, you've seen bad but I've seen worse

but if there's one thing that I know
about the price of my freedom
it's that I pay it every day
and if I don't see you by this time tomorrow
I will make it up to you someday

sometimes my homeless friends, they ask me
why the sherriff has to carry a gun
I have to admit that I don't have the answers
but the ravages of cancer betray how the west was won

riches to the victor and woe to the conquered
the Rubicon stands between me and my love
I am thrashing through an ocean of bodies
I put no faith in the entities above

and if there's one thing that I know
about the price of your freedom
it's that you pay it every day
and if you don't see me by this time tomorrow
you'll know that I am on my way
