Courier Says II (Dance of the Soldier)

Do you know the dance of the soldier?
It's how she carries her military
Everywhere she ever goes;
It's all she knows

Walking East on Elysian Fields
Into the mouth of the coming moment;
And the teeth of the West close in
On her shadow on the sidewalk

The melody in her mind
Keeps her entertained for a minute
Before the return of her choreographer
Always right on time

The sun sets over her eyes
And her figure animates in accordance with
The walls of her own cave closing in on her

Is it the death of her heart I am watching?
Yes, I do believe it is
But that's the dance
