Noches De Arabia
Minutely planned professional crime assassination at night
Cold-blooded killers on a midnight hunt for a girl who cannot fight
Kidnapped, tortured, skinned alive victim of wanton abuse
Without protection a life is lost condemned for speaking the truth
Manic
Panic will you suffer endlessly
>From agents of brutality
Speak the truth pay the price
The unjust reign the innocent cry
Abomination in the dead of night
Polished metal gleams
Deadly weapons in the hands of beasts
Another martyr screams
A victim cringes, stagg
Collect From Wichita
(Neal Coty/Randy Vanwarmer)
It's rainin' cats and dogs
At a diner outside Wichita
Out of money, our of breath
Somewhere in the great midwest
It ain't like you'll walk through that door
A thousand miles from Baltimore
But if you did you'd understand
I'm drowning in this promise land
This time I've spent I've just been driftin'
And I ain't got nothin' left
Yeah, I've been bent and twisted
Into this state of helplessness
My back is up against the wall
Hopin' that you'll take my call
Collect from Wichita
Left Austin road in a cloud of dust
Screaming blind and furious
Splinters in my hands and feet
From pieces of our broken dreams
This time I've spent I've just been driftin'
And I ain't got nothin' left
Yeah, I've been bent and twisted
Into this state of helplessness
My back is up against the wall
Hopin' that you'll take my call
Collect from Wichita
I hear that cold dial tone
I've got my heart on hold
Voice says will you take this call
Collect from Wichita
This time I've spent I've just been driftin'
And I ain't got nothin' left
Yeah, I've been bent and twisted
Into this state of helplessness
My back is up against the wall
Hopin' that you'll take my call
Collect from Wichita
