Sam Roberts Band - Sang Froid lyrics

We were shining on the front lines We were standing on a land mine But it's been a long time since I was afraid We were hunters in the daylight We were prey after midnight But it's been a long time since I was afraid We've been shining on the front lines Burning in the sunshine We've been dancing in the headlines Standing on a land mine There were flowers in the fields There were guns, human shields Ain't a daydream, this is real Ain't a smokescreen, can't conceal We were flushed with success We were crushed by excess We were standing at address We were hoping for the best We've been shining on the front lines Burning in the sunshine We've been dancing in the headlines Standing on a land mine Sang Froid at the right time Lying there waiting for the fever to break There's only so much that a body can take (don't you know) Everyone has a little piece to defend There's only so much that a body can bend There were roads that were paved Only those who were saved are coming home They're coming home Reincarnation! You're coming back as a bug Hallucinations got you crying tears on an afghan rug Hope of salvation Pray for victory You were only nineteen, you have so much to be And now you're suffering from PTSD We were flushed with success We were crushed by excess We were standing at address We were hoping for the best We've been shining on the front lines Burning in the sunshine We've been dancing in the headlines Standing on a land mine Sang Froid at the right time Sang Froid at the right time
