Tim Buckley - No Man Can Find The War lyrics

Scarlet skull and distant game

Bayonet and jungle grin

Nightmares dreamed by bleeding men

Lookouts tremble on the shore

But no man can find the war

Tape recorders echo scream

Orders fly like bullet stream

Drums and cannons laugh aloud

Whistles come from ashen shroud

Leaders damn the world and roar

But no man can find the war

Is the war across the sea?

Is the war behind the sky?

Have you each and all gone blind:

Is the war inside your mind?

Humans weep at human death

All the talkers lose their breath

Movies paint a chaos tale

Singers see and poets wail

All the world kows the score

But no man can find the war
