Last of a kind I am, not missed or even known
In a moment of weakness I let you take me home
Now I’m listed all over — I’m a running joke
Some story the soldiers tell, that kind of joke
It’s not — it’s not funny
I was not welcomed home but they let me sleep outside
And this was more than most
And they let me keep my life
It’s not — it’s not funny
This was my only crime for which I'm twice condemned
If I get torn in half, how will all my running run?
Because in this war for me they won’t use my name
Because it fills them with honor and it fills them with shame
Sometimes I think on him
Hair snaking around my waist
My head thrown to one side
Every part of myself replaced
It’s not — it’s not funny
Between the sand and the moon there is no place for me
If I seem serious — that’s the way of the wilderness
Because in this war for me they won’t use my name
Because it fills them with honor and it fills them with shame
Thanks man, I couldn't get hold of the 7", I had to settle for the iTunes download, so I was going by ear. I've done the same for 'The Night Accelerates', so it'd be great if someone could put up the true lyrics there too.

You did pretty well and actually the 7" liner notes aren't 100% correct on a few of the lyrics. It's obvious on Vampire lessons that some of the lyrcis were switched around and little things through out the rest of the songs.

These are taken from the liner notes of the 7"
