Kwajalein

Marshall Islands' a long way from home
I’m sure I would enjoy the view if I wasn’t so far gone
You’re a red hot gun and I’m a skeleton
Life wasn’t all so bad in California
And back then in LA you could still see the stars
I loved my home and home she loved me too
Then I heard Arizona’d gone down
It was a long cold winter when I heard God say
Your trials have just begun
I traded my home
For hell and now we’re stuck here
Kwajalein, you are mine
Whether you want me or not
I take thee
So you can break me
I wandered 'round the city
But you always brought me back
Now the sun can’t reach me no more
Stuck in a stranger’s home planted by the shore
And I asked my Lord when will He take me home
When all good is fled we’re left alone
Nothing more than ribs caging this aching soul
As long as I can feel anything, anything is good to me
And the ocean she teases me
She sprinkles the lace of her softly riddled clothes
On every willow tree
So I traded my home
For hell and now we’re stuck here
Kwajalein, you are mine
Whether you want me or not
I take thee
So you can break me
I wandered 'round the city
But you always brought me back
Kwajalein, you are mine
Whether you want me or not
I take thee
So you can break me
I wandered 'round the city
But you always brought me back
