How Does The Grass Grow Songtext / Lyric

There's a graveyard by the station

Where the girls wear nylon skirts and

Sandals from Hungary

The boys ride their Riga 1'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 ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

Ya ya ya ya ya ya

How does the grass grow

Blood blood blood

Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

Ya ya ya ya ya ya

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 ever ever know

Waiting with my red eyes

And my stone heart



Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

Ya ya ya ya ya ya

How does the grass grow

Blood blood blood

Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

Ya ya ya ya ya ya

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 n ight

The light in my life burnt away

There will be no tomorrow

Then you sigh in your sleep

And meaning returns with the day



Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

Ya ya ya ya ya ya

Where do the boys lie

Mud mud mud

How does the grass grow

Blood blood blood
