Timbuk 3 - Waves Of Grain

Текст песни

It was a nice clean assassination
The gunman slipped through immigration
Like the gentle wind that swept the plain
And ruffled over waves of grain
Sailing safely out of sight
On board the next connecting flight
The gunman smiled, he felt no pain
So high above the waves of grain
Then someone snatched the video away
From the hands of a tourist at the game
And soon a blast on board the plane
Sent it crashing into the waves of grain
The blown up stills told the story
Large as life in all its glory
A man’s face in the 29th frame
Appeared within the waves of grain
Now the pictures have been confiscated
The tourist was incarcerated
The drugs they gave him numbed his brain
Now all he sees are waves of grain
Now rummaging through the ravaged rubble
I wonder, is it worth the trouble?
Does the slightest trace of truth remain?
Running through the waves of grain
