The generals hate holidays.
Others shoot up to chase the sun blues away.
Another store front church is open.
Sea of neon lights. A boxer, his shadow fights.
Soldier tired and sailor broken.
Winter's asleep at my window.
Cold wind waits at my door.
She asks me up to her place
but I won't be down anymore.

Then I'll tell who I want where to go.
And I'll forget about your lies and deceit
and your attempts to be so discreet.

I'll slip away.
And you can keep your symbols of success.
