Black Candy Plus - It's Time To Go

Ten straight years of trying to catch up
To statues and photos standing tall
If I could ever smile like a man in uniform
Without washing out a single drop of blood

I wouldn't need a car to take me home
I would'nt need a TV or a phone
I wouldn't need a bed to rest my bones
But who can know
When it's time to go?

Fire me across the river to the west
Where I can sing to children young and old
I don't want to hurt a single person I don't know
Not even those who treat me like a gun

Where can I find these open arms?
Where can I find that gypsy choir?
Where can I find that lonesome child?
And who can know
When it's time to go?

Now that I am free to face the traffic in the street
Should I try to find out where it flows?
Or should I walk along the lines to where it started from
And see if I can find a vehicle?

I wish I had a map that I could use
I wish I had a decent pair of shoes
I wish I had a lighter and a fuse
But who can know
When it's time to go?
