Send "Les Morts Dansant" Ringtone to your Cell

Cannons roared in the valley they thundered
While the guns lit up the night
Then it rained and both sides wondered
Who is wrong and who is right

On the wire like a ragged old scarecrow
Bloody hands and broken back
When they fire see him pirouette solo
Jump in time to the rat a tat

What a night though it's one of seven
What a night for the dancing dead
What a night to be called to heaven
What a picture to fill your head

By the wall in a silouette standing
Through a flash of sudden light
Cigarette from his mouth just hanging
Paper square to his heart pinned tight

Gather round reluctant marksmen
One of them to take his life
With a smile he gives them pardon
Leaves the dark and takes the light

CHORUS

They dispatch their precious cargo
Knock him back right off his feet
And they pray may no one follow
Better still to face the beast

When the field has become a garden
And the wall has stood the test
Children play and the dogs run barking
Who would think or who would guess

CHORUS

Send "Les Morts Dansant" Ringtone to your Cell

Cannons roared in the valley they thundered 
While the guns lit up the night 
Then it rained and both sides wondered 
Who is wrong and who is right 
 
On the wire like a ragged old scarecrow 
Bloody hands and broken back 
When they fire see him pirouette solo 
Jump in time to the rat a tat 
 
What a night though it's one of seven 
What a night for the dancing dead 
What a night to be called to heaven 
What a picture to fill your head 
 
By the wall in a silouette standing 
Through a flash of sudden light 
Cigarette from his mouth just hanging 
Paper square to his heart pinned tight 
 
Gather round reluctant marksmen 
One of them to take his life 
With a smile he gives them pardon 
Leaves the dark and takes the light 
 
CHORUS 
 
They dispatch their precious cargo 
Knock him back right off his feet 
And they pray may no one follow 
Better still to face the beast 
 
When the field has become a garden 
And the wall has stood the test 
Children play and the dogs run barking 
Who would think or who would guess
