in a lighting flash landscape/i saw your best plan laid out/
and there was so much more/
in the arms that you carried/were the arms that held us dear/

and we were so let down/
fill the canteens/pull up the stakes/
youre burning everything that you cant take/

and im left with nothing more/
than the tracest evidence/ like some partial finger print/
that you left on the door/


right here and now/ we'll pick up our hearts and leave town
right here and now/ we carry on,carry on/

you run your mouth/and i'll run my business/
teach you to say hallelujah/
it seems you need some convincing/

well we dont talk/we deal in lead/

in a lightning flash landscape/ i saw my best plan played out/

and there was nothing left/
you wont change my mind/just save your breath/
i told you secrets/that best stay kept/

now just let me forget/
chorus
