I knew a woman of a thousand reasons
She had and answers for everything
I used to kiss here just to keep here from speaking
I’ve done the strangest things

I was a solider and my anger was the weapon
I drew the battle lines on every side
I built a prison and I called it freedom
I’ve done the strangest things

I should have known there was rubble
Lying at the end of the tunnel
I was blinded

Shake the rattle at the jungle wall
Take the fire from the dragons jaw
Chase the devil from the neighbourhood
Just to watch him running

Pound the drums so the wild men come
Rising from my soul again
Feel the power in my hand
Revolution man

I learned the language of the uninvited
I learned to fool myself a thousand ways
I was the poet in the house of silence
I’ve done the strangest things

I knew an old man with a face of winter
He never noticed that the seasons change
I took his photograph and covered up the mirror
I’ve done the strangest things

Shake the rattle at the jungle wall
Take the fire from the dragons jaw
Chase the devil from the neighbourhood
Just to watch him running

Pound the drums so the wild men come
Rising from my soul again
Feel the power in my hand
Revolution man
