Call me a deserter, it's true I walked away
travelling by starlight, hiding out by day
dogs and demarcations kept me on the run
I got a little blinded staring at the sun
walking round in circles, holding up the sky
falling among thieves, laughing till I cry
voices red with anger burning in my ears
this is bedlam calling, roaring down the years
no safe house in Birmingham, I found no peace in Skye
the green fields of Derry just another lie
wrap the barbed wire round me, say I don't belong
kick me till I couldn't move then tell me to move on
but when these walls fall down
and when this world turns round
between your heartbeats
your hammer heartbreaks
you'll hear what the deserter says
and when these walls fall down
and when this world turns round
everybody is in the middle
nobody is on the edge
spider spins his heart out, fox goes home alone
wisdom lies in wait for me, a snake beneath a stone
shelter is in silence or any stony place
I will not share your pity, your laws or your disgrace
but when these walls fall down
and when this world turns round
between your heartbeats
your hammer heartbreaks
you'll hear what the deserter says
and when these walls fall down
and when this world turns round
everybody is in the middle
nobody is on the edge
travelling by starlight, hiding out by day
dogs and demarcations kept me on the run
I got a little blinded staring at the sun
walking round in circles, holding up the sky
falling among thieves, laughing till I cry
voices red with anger burning in my ears
this is bedlam calling, roaring down the years
no safe house in Birmingham, I found no peace in Skye
the green fields of Derry just another lie
wrap the barbed wire round me, say I don't belong
kick me till I couldn't move then tell me to move on
but when these walls fall down
and when this world turns round
between your heartbeats
your hammer heartbreaks
you'll hear what the deserter says
and when these walls fall down
and when this world turns round
everybody is in the middle
nobody is on the edge
spider spins his heart out, fox goes home alone
wisdom lies in wait for me, a snake beneath a stone
shelter is in silence or any stony place
I will not share your pity, your laws or your disgrace
but when these walls fall down
and when this world turns round
between your heartbeats
your hammer heartbreaks
you'll hear what the deserter says
and when these walls fall down
and when this world turns round
everybody is in the middle
nobody is on the edge
