Bandage on my eye
Sun shines on the barrell of my gun
And the blood on my hands is dry
Today I turn thirteen
I'm pretty strong but I ain't that old
And they call me brave cause the truth be told
The very youngest in the calvary...
Hey hey little boy blue
Get over here we got something for you
The shiniest gun that you've ever seen
All the men are squinting in the sun
And they're knocking the flies away
They treat me kind and they pat me on the head
And I think i'm gonna die today...
I made love to my father and now I must pay...
My horse I named him Queen
He does whatever I tell him to
Tho he's four times bigger than me
Sun shines on grass of green
I watch the sun rise up in the sky
And the time slip away from me
Hey hey little blue boy
I'm gonna show you something today
Bite down on your finger son cause
You're gonna be a man today
Childhood skips after the sun
Thru the checkerboard of the sky
Blue tears welling up in my eyes
And I think i'm getting ready to die...
I made love to my father and now I must pay...
A rabbit sits on my shoulder
And he sometimes talks to me
I do whatever he tells me to
Tho he's four times smaller than me
Bugle splits the sky
Drum beat pounds up thru the earth and
The men get ready to die
Canon splits the sky
Sun leaps up over my head
And it pours in through my eye
Hey hey little boy blue
You've got a daddy up in the sky
He�s up there waiting for you
With his hand stretched down from the sky
Guns unzip the gates of hell
But it seems much different to me
Blood shines & peals like a bell
That's how it seems to me
Three clouds drift like kings
Thru the checkerboard of the sky
They look so soft to me
That my heart begins to cry
I made love to my father and now I must pay�
