Now it's quiet on the street
But that could change in a heartbeat
I shiver like a wet dog
They're coming from the east
Coming from the west
They're coming straight ahead
Every night, same old story
Out there, they're waiting for me
Fire in the hole behind me
Oh, God I hope they find me
Somebody better pray to Jesus
Somebody better come release us
Somebody better back down soon
Before it gets too late, oh-oh
Fire in the hole behind me
Coming from the east
Coming from the west
Or maybe straight ahead
I hear the helicopters beat
Touching down on the concrete
I wither in the red sun
Heavy in the heat
Heavy in the head
"Hold the line" they said
Every day, right before me
Line up for the guts and glory
Stand by for the big unwinding
You're part of the masterminding
Every day, stress increases
Someday gonna blow to pieces
Somebody better back down soon
Somebody better take control
And lead us home
Nobody try to be the hero
And stand alone
Everybody's got a hole inside them
You know it's true
Everybody needs a soul asylum
Somebody to talk them through
No advance and no retreat
Now I'm up in the front seat
I'm loading up the last one
Coming from the east
Coming from the west
Or maybe straight ahead
Every night, I get that feeling
In a room without a ceiling
No stars and no horizon
No prize to keep your eyes on
Everybody better keep your head up
Nobody better try to stand up
Somebody better back down soon
All I needed was a wave to ride on
And an open sky
Now I'm looking at a hill to die on
But I don't know why
Everybody wants a higher power
To part the sea
Somebody in their finest hour
To set them free
Now it's quiet on the street
But that could change in a heartbeat
