Burn these fields, pave them black Leave this place and I'll never look back Fill my mind with your silent streets A sea of waving heat Could be a lover like in your wildest dreams I run for cover Come apart at the seams Just like a mother who's wasted and scared Bury me in the rain Oh warchild, my mama says Bury me in an unmarked grave And wash my ashes again and again I was born to trouble I was born to pain Bury me in the rain Oh warchild, my mama says Now they're screaming, running wild, child What's wrong now? wharchild I will kill all of the lies you tell It's your hell, warchild Oh mercy mercy me I can't find no light to see And the streets, they get so cold And the nights will make you old Is there nothing I can do before it tears me in two Oh mercy mercy me, child Why can't they let me be? Is it something that I've done Keeps me always on the run? Is there something I can say Is there nothing I can do before it tears me in two Child, get out Can't you tell me Can't you tell me, child? Could be a lover like in your wildest dreams I run for cover Come apart at the seams Just like a mother who's wasted and scared Bury me in the rain Now I'm a liar, I am greed I light a fire and burn to be freed But still this memory hangs round my head Everything you said Bury me in the rain Bury me in the rain, oh in the rain
