I'm Your Brave Little Soldier
Eels · Other Songs - Eels
But now it's one hard faith
The super marking card makes you home
I push it by myself
I'm your brave little soldier
And everything will be alright
I'm your brave little soldier
Coming home to you tonight
Gonna be alright
Stand in line at the playboy rigor
Ski mask yawning at my face
Laying on the floor, thinking how I
Forgot to pray last night
I'm your brave little soldier
And everything will be alright
I'm your brave little soldier
Coming home to you tonight
Gonna be alright
It's money in the cup, big love's a gift
I won't forget you
I'm your brave little soldier
And everything will be alright
I'm your brave little soldier
Coming home to you tonight
Gonna be alright
Gonna be alright, alright.
