China Drum - Foxhole Lyrics
I had a dream last night, I remember I had a daughter But I was scared to leave you alone all day with her I know what you're thinking, it's a bit too harsh to come from me How could anyone have that problem with someone like you I'm sorry did you think I liked you? How are you feeling? Does it make your spine curl up with shame To think that we thought of you as a person not to blame But now it's plain to see all those fists you gave behind closed doors We're no longer private secrets, when you boasted of your thoughts Was she thankful for that day? He was being cruel to be unkind Now the stains have washed away, he's got nothing bad left to say That doesn't mean that I would like him now He'd be stupid to think he'd get away with what had scarred someone so deep inside So nobody's caring So when was the last time that affected him He hasn't got a constructive thought inside his head But still he keeps on digging, but the only way he's digging is down So now are you happy in your new foxhole? Are you thankful for this day? He was being cruel to be unkind Now the stains have washed away, he's got nothing bad left to say That doesn't mean that I would like him now He'd be stupid to think he'd get away with what had scarred someone so deep inside Did you think you were safe dug in your new foxhole? I'll be thankful for that day We never imagined he could be that way Our first impressions had no trace He was being cruel to be unkind He never thought that he would look behind Now the stains are here to stay They're never gonna be washed away 'Cause he was being cruel to be unkind Did you think you were safe dug in your new foxhole? I'll be thankful for that day We never imagined he could be that way Our first impressions had no trace This is just a feeling, correct me if I'm wrong But did he have to walk away from the crimes that stained him? Now he'll have to wait, like on an empty station Maybe change his name or find a new vocation So nobody's caring, when was the last time that affected him? He hasn't got a constructive thought inside his head But still he keeps on digging, he says he's sorry, it'll never happen again Are you happy stuck indside your old foxhole Are you happy in your old foxhole? Are you happy in your old style mould? Are you happy in your new foxhole?
