[Intro]
This is where the helicopters came to take me away
This is where the children used to play
[Verse 1]
This is only half a mile away from the attack
This is where my life changed in a day, and then it changed back
Buried in the din of rotor noise and close explosions
I do my best to synthesize the sounds and my emotions
[Verse 2]
This is where the allies bombed the school, they say by mistake
Here nobody takes me for a fool, just for a fake
Later at the hotel bar, the journalists are waiting
I hurry back to my guitar while they're commiserating
[Chorus]
And I'll be leaving soon
I'll be leaving soon
[Verse 3]
Just as soon as we were on the ground we were back in the jet
Just another three-day foreign tour we'd never forget
It's hard to sympathize with all this devastation
Hopping 'round from site to site like tourists on vacation
This is where the helicopters came to take me away
This is where the children used to play
[Verse 1]
This is only half a mile away from the attack
This is where my life changed in a day, and then it changed back
Buried in the din of rotor noise and close explosions
I do my best to synthesize the sounds and my emotions
[Verse 2]
This is where the allies bombed the school, they say by mistake
Here nobody takes me for a fool, just for a fake
Later at the hotel bar, the journalists are waiting
I hurry back to my guitar while they're commiserating
[Chorus]
And I'll be leaving soon
I'll be leaving soon
[Verse 3]
Just as soon as we were on the ground we were back in the jet
Just another three-day foreign tour we'd never forget
It's hard to sympathize with all this devastation
Hopping 'round from site to site like tourists on vacation
