21 Gun Salute

21 gun salute i guess i saw it in my tv show with the look of the sun on the city-scape i caught the subway home with a belly-ache when you look in the face of my friends when i try to talk with a cloudy head i keep fucking it up, and it's rough maybe it's just that i'm out of luck it all goes downhill after the rains, after the floods only mountains retain the shape, retain the blood all the secrets you've kept till now, you'll keep till the grave 21 gun salute i had to put the body to rest i guess is saw it in my fevered sleep with a cough to wake up in the morning breeze it all goes downhill after the rains, after the floods only mountains retain the shape, retain the blood all the secrets you've kept till now you'll keep till the grave all slow to face when i'm wrong enough long shall we wait for another one it all goes downhill after the rains, after the floods only mountains retain the shape, retain the blood all you seek is gone
