Biff Bang Pow - The Creation

I meant to ask you how to fix that car

I always meant to ask you about the war

And what you saw across the bridge too far

Did it leave a scar?

Or how you navigated rings of fire and steel

Up where Heaven had no more secrets to conceal

And still you found the ground beneath your wheels

How did it feel?

Bang the drum slowly

Lay the pipes lowly

In dust lead to air

In dust we begin

Bang the drum slowly

I speak of things holy

Above and below me

A world without end

I meant to ask you how in everything seemed lost

And your fate was game of dust they tossed

There was still that land that you would never cross

At any cost

I meant to ask you how you lived, what you believed

Had everything but your heart up your sleeve

And if you ever, ever really were deceived

My the likes of me

Gone, now, is the day that brought the Sun

There is peace tonight all over Arlington

That the song of my life will still be sung

By the light of the new year hum

I meant to ask you how to plow that field

Meant to bring you water from the well

And be the one beside you when you fell

How could you tell?
