Over and out she said

from a hospital bed


for what its worth it doesn't hurt don't cry


over and out he said

with a forty-five to his head


the war has taken everything from me


its all i see so




run for cover as fast as you can


we're fighters and lovers and enemies of friends

pens and knives apologize


believing you tonight


leavin' you tonight




Over and out, he sighed


it seems I've run out of time

please tell my wife i loved her more than life itself


over and out, she sang


as the telephone rang

there's no pain no answering no more so





run for cover as fast as you can

we're fighters and lovers and enemies of friends


pens and knives apologize


for leaving you




run for cover and you'll find a stand


take on the anguish make it disappear

hand grenades and napalm flames are leaving you tonight


let this candle burn 'til you get home


never forget your face

never lose hope


tonight




run for cover as fast as you can


we're fighters and lovers and enemies of friends


pens and knives apologize

believing you




run for cover and you'll find a stand


take on the anger make it disappear

knives a blaze will softly send a name in you
