Shadow Line Warnings

from Shadow Line Warnings by Bill White

/

lyrics

blonde hair in your teeth
lipstick on your fists
she's scarred up from a bracelet
you tightened on her wrist

every highschool textbook
tells of heroes like you and me
juvenile delinquents
fighting for their place in history

and then i hear it
coming from the voices of the maligned
shadow line warnings
unheeded by mankind

we celebrate with wine
when the truce is signed
then cross the no mans' parallel
and blow away the infidels

what never makes the cut
is the sickness in my gut
the grand cootie campaign
that laid eggs inside my brain

and then i hear it
coming from the voices of the maligned
shadow line warnings
unheeded by mankind

i sit in the press box
watching you on the gurney
a lethal injection
to speed you on your journey

and on the road to the underworld
when youth has passed its prime
sing shadow line warnings
unheeded by mankind

and none have heard it
too deaf and too unkind
shadow line warnings
against the cruelty of mankind
