Today I Died Again Lyrics

Simple Minds Today I Died Again

The human drum
Beats a rhythm of life
The clothes he wears
Takes back to the war

You talk a lot
Often to yourself
She don't say much
He cuts his hair

She can't remember
Before the heat
He can't remember
His wife's Christian name

Paint me your picture
Towers in sand
America can fall

Today I died again
I died again
I died today

Today I died again
I died again
I died today

Back to a year
Back to a youth
Of men in church
And drug cabarets

Is this the age
Of empires and dance?
Oh, what a world
Oh, what a world

She can't remember
Before this heat
He can't remember
His wife's Christian name

Paint me your picture
Bodies in sand
Presidents can fall

Today I died again
I died again
I died today

Today I died again
I died again
I died today
