Long Way Home Lyrics - The Buffalo Skinners - Big Country

Come on lay your hands on me 

Feel the will of God's TV 

I will save you every one 

And you can pay me when I'm done 

100,000 Jesus Children 

All dressed up and no-one with them 

Lead them not into temptation 

With your tales of hell's damnation 

[Chorus] 

Searching for the long way home 

Searching for the long way home 

Searching for the long way home 

Searching for the long way home 

Out upon the China sea 

Boats will run eternally 

Storms on land and storms assail 

Captains roar and the women wail 

A half a million Nixon babies 

Some with toys and some with rabies 

Hunted by the man in black 

No room here man send them back 

[Chorus] 

Underneath your own safe sky 

You may never wonder why 

Some will never make their peace 

Some have never been released 

Fires in the L.A. sky 

The truth ran out and justice died 

You better arm the National Guard 

'Cause final notice has been served 

[Chorus: x2] 

The long way home
