Standing on a beach
with a gun in my hand
staring at the sea
staring at the sand
staring down the barrel
at the arab on the ground
see his open mouth
but hear no soundI'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an arabi can turn and walk away
or I can fire the gun
staring at the sky
staring at the sun
whichever I choose
it amounts to the sameAbsolutely nothingI'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an arabfeel the steel butt jump
smooth in my hand
staring at the sea
staring at the sand
staring at myself
reflected in the eyes of
the dead man on the beachThe dead man
on the beachI'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an arab.
