To Cut A Long Story Short

Soldier is turning

See him through white light

Running from strangers

See you in the valley

War upon war

Heat upon heat

To cut a long story short

I lost my mind

Sitting on a park bench

Years away from fighting

To cut a long story short

I lost my mind

Standing in the dark

Oh, I was waiting for a man to come

I am beautiful and clean

And so very, very young

To be standing in the street

To be taken by someone

Standing in the dark

Oh, I was waiting for a man to come

I am beautiful and clean

And so very, very young

To be standing in the street

To be taken by someone

Questions, questions

Give me no answers

That's all they ever give me

Questions, questions

Oh, look at this strange boy

He finds it hard existing

Oh, to cut a long story short

I lost my mind

Oh, to cut a long story short

I lost my mind
