I drove a tank in on the left   I hid a rifle on the right   When she said, "I see a tunnel   And at the end I see a light"      I see fire on the water   On the right bank and the left   And she smiles when she wears   The iron curtain as a dress      I said, "Come on, come on   You're tellin' me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up   Come on   You're tellin' me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut"      I see a preacher with a secret   And he dare not make a sound   I see the smoke and fire   And the market burning down      I see a tulip on the grave   Of a lover who confessed   I'm a soldier and a poet   But I'm a dancer at best      I said, "Come on, come on   You're tellin' me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up   Come on   You're tellin' me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut      I said, "Come on   You're tellin' me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up   Come on   You're tellin' me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut"      Yes, baby, yes   I'm burnin' houses, baby   I'm burnin' bridges, baby   Yes, baby, yes   I'm burnin' houses, baby   I'm burnin' bridges, baby      I drove a tank in on the left   I hid a rifle on the right   When she said, "I see a tunnel   And at the end I see a light"      I see fire on the water   On the right bank and the left   And she smiles when she wears   The iron curtain as a dress      I said, "Come on, come on   You're tellin' me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up   Come on   You're tellin' me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut      I said, "Come on   You're tellin' me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up   Come on   You're tellin' me to tell the truth even with my mouth sewn shut"
