The air is filled with dust and smoke The cities burned down long ago Washed in fear, we salvaged hopes We walked the same abandoned roads I dance to the here and the now I dance to the bullets against the ground We live in the flicker tonight We chase the waves of dawn 'til we die The vultures circled overhead And they heard every word I said We searched for ghosts that roam our past Revel in dreams that never, never last I dance to the here and the now I dance to the bullets against the ground We live in the flicker tonight We chase the waves of dawn 'til we die I wear a bullseye on my back A scrap of metal in my chest I live or die with every step The gloom is brooding in the west How many lives have I got left? Just leave my corpse to ride the desert wind Just lay me dead, never return again I dance to the here and the now I dance to the bullets against the ground We live in the flicker tonight We chase the waves of dawn 'til we die We chase the waves of dawn 'til we die
