Courier Says II: Dance of the Soldier

from Playing Dead by Cannonball Statman

/

lyrics

Do you know the dance of the soldier?
It's how she carries her military
everywhere she ever goes;
it's all she knows.

Walking East on Elysian Fields
into the mouth of the coming moment;
and the teeth of the West close in
on her shadow on the sidewalk.

The melody in her mind
keeps her entertained for a minute,
before the return of her choreographer,
always right on time.

The sun sets over her eyes,
and her figure animates in accordance with
the walls of her own cave closing in on her.

Is it the death of her heart I am watching?
Yes, I do believe it is.
But that's the dance.
