32 feathers in my brand new indian headdress
32 new moons shining in 32 skies

32 lies my ears never saw when the floorboard gave way
32 walls come tumbling down when night turns to day
32 infantrymen running in place
32 boxcars all of them have your face

32 footsteps - counted them myself - 32 footsteps
twenty-eight... twenty-nine... thirty...
thirty-one
