Sweet Bird Of Truth - 12" Remix

Lyrics

Heaven sent, hell bent
 Over the mountain tops we go
 Just like all the other GI Joes
 EE-AY-EE-AY adios!
 Arabia, Arabia, Arabia, Arabia (repeating)
 Six o'clock in the morning
 And I'm the last person in this plane still awake
 You know I can almost smell
 The blood washing 'gainst the shores
 Of this land that can't forget its past
 Oh, the wind that carries this plane
 Is the wind of change
 Heaven sent and hell bent
 Over the mountain tops we go
 Just like all the other GI Joes
 EE-AY-EE-AY adios!
 Across the beaches and cranes
 Rivers and trains
 All the money I've made
 Bodies I've maimed
 Time was when I seemed to know
 Just like any other GI Joe
 Should I cry like a baby
 Die like a man
 While all the planet's little wars
 Start joining hands
 Oh, what a heaven -- what a hell
 You know there's nothing could be done in this whole wide world
 This is your captain calling
 With an urgent warning
 We're above the Gulf of Arabia
 Our altitude is falling
 And I can't hold her up
 There's no time for thinking
 All hands on deck
 This bird is sinking
 Arabia, Arabia (repeating)
 I don't know what's wrong or right
 I'm just a regular guy
 With bottled up insides
 I ain't ever been to church
 Or believed in Jesus Christ
 But I'm praying that God's with you
 When you die
 This is your captain calling
 With an urgent warning
 We're above the Gulf of Arabia
 Our altitude is falling
 And I can't hold her up
 There's no time for thinking
 All hands on deck
 This bird is sinking
 This is your captain calling
 With an urgent warning
 We're above the Gulf of Arabia
 Our altitude is falling
 And I can't hold her up
 There's no time for thinking
 All hands on deck
 This bird is sinking
 Is sinking, is sinking (repeating)
