Cover the bruises on your back Erase the blisters from your feet I was the Petri-dish for you You'll be a better man than me The faintest trace of a heartbeat I sat on the edge of my seat I've been a test pilot for you You'll be a better man than me This is the future of the past I keep it in the dark This is the future of the past I keep it in the dark I must've been mistaken for A gardener in a war So bear the weight of my armour Like a warrior in a garden Cover the bruises on your back Erase the blisters from your feet I've served a life sentence for you So be a better man than me I must've been mistaken for A gardener in a war This is the weight of my armour I'm a warrior in a garden This is the future of the past I keep it in the dark This is the future of the past I keep it in the dark I must've been mistaken for A gardener in a war This is the weight of my armour I'm a warrior in a garden
