There’s a graveyard by the station
Where the girls wear nylon skirts
And Sandals from Hungary
The boys ride their Riga’s
Upon the little hill
Such sadness and grief
The trees die standing
That’s where we made our trysts
And struggled with our guns
Would you still love me
If the clocks could go backwards
The girls would fill with blood
And the grass would be green again
Remember the dead
They were so great – some of them
Ya yayaya yaya yayayaya
How does the grass grow?
Blood blood blood
Where do the boys lie?
Mud mud mud
Ya yayaya yaya yayayaya
Where do the boys lie?
Mud mud mud
How does the grass grow?
Blood blood blood
But I lived a blind life
A white face in prison
But you made a life out of nothing
Now I ride my black horse
I miss you more
Than you’ll never ever know
Waiting with my red eyes
And my stone heart
Ya yayaya yaya yayayaya
How does the grass grow?
Blood blood blood
Where do the boys lie?
Mud mud mud
How does the grass grow?
Blood blood blood
I gaze in defeat
At the stars in the night
The light in my life burnt away
There will be no tomorrow
Then you sigh in the sleep
And meaning returns in the day
Ya yayaya yaya yayayaya
Where do the boys lie?
Mud mud mud
How does the grass grow?
Blood blood blood
Where the girls wear nylon skirts
And Sandals from Hungary
The boys ride their Riga’s
Upon the little hill
Such sadness and grief
The trees die standing
That’s where we made our trysts
And struggled with our guns
Would you still love me
If the clocks could go backwards
The girls would fill with blood
And the grass would be green again
Remember the dead
They were so great – some of them
Ya yayaya yaya yayayaya
How does the grass grow?
Blood blood blood
Where do the boys lie?
Mud mud mud
Ya yayaya yaya yayayaya
Where do the boys lie?
Mud mud mud
How does the grass grow?
Blood blood blood
But I lived a blind life
A white face in prison
But you made a life out of nothing
Now I ride my black horse
I miss you more
Than you’ll never ever know
Waiting with my red eyes
And my stone heart
Ya yayaya yaya yayayaya
How does the grass grow?
Blood blood blood
Where do the boys lie?
Mud mud mud
How does the grass grow?
Blood blood blood

At the stars in the night
The light in my life burnt away

And meaning returns in the day
Ya yayaya yaya yayayaya
Where do the boys lie?
Mud mud mud
How does the grass grow?
Blood blood blood
