Stick 195 - Behind closed curtains

behind closed curtains...
...that's where she took off her burka
...that's where she let down her hair
...that's where she stared at naked mirror time
...that's where there was no thin line

behind closed curtains...
...that's where he waited all night
...that's where his fight became pale fright
...that's where he finally lost his mind
...that's where there was no thin line

behind closed curtains...
...that's where they loaded their guns
...that's where curtains tore as helicopter blades spun
...that's where bombs ripped last curtains apart
...that's where there was no thin line

behind ripped curtains...
...that's where bodies lie in state
...that's where families stare at an unfair fate
...that's where human regrets come too late
...that's where there is no thin line and only war lost time
