Only the very young, and the very beautiful can be so aloof Hanging out with the boys, all swagger and poise I don't even care when other people are there I just stare, and stare, and stare
I see your shadow in the swimming pool See your face in the shaving mirror Time and time, and time again I follow your footsteps so quietly up the back stairs I'm hoping to pray, that you'll never find me there
Smooth skin and tenderness, when we're going in the dark night Wish I could see you once again just to remember that it was true I wanna still be beside you Quiet and still beside you Just listening to your breathing Feeling you once again
War Baby War Baby This means War Baby I'm scared, so scared Whatever is it you keep putting me through
Sounds like somebody is out there in the night Might just be the voice, of someone I once knew Hear me, father and mother, if I should cry out loud As a mean, and violent candle At the foot of my own bed
Corresponding disasters, every night on the T.V. Sickening reality keep creeping me with it's guts My friends all talking jokes, may laugh about armageddon Like a nightmare, it's still waiting there And the end of each and every day.
War Baby You are a war Baby This means, War Baby Oh, I'm scared, so scared Whatever it is you keep putting me through
War Baby You are a War Baby Doing whatever rolls War Baby I'm scared, so scared Whatever it is you keep putting me through
I don't think I can stand another 10 years of this fighting Always stabbing and wouding, only getting my own back Coz if it's really true, and we're all in this together Well something's bound to give soon And it sure as hell isn't gonna be me
'Cause you were the first one, I would've ever wanted And it's you, I come home to, at the end of every day Like a mother circling baby, so demanding and helpless Ohhh I can remember the revolting hair, her whole wrinkles, and bulging eyes
War baby You are a War Baby Well this means, War baby I'm scared, so scared Whatever it is you keep putting me through
So here we all are And the king of the Yogunt On a cold dark friday night Forgotten about the world outside
Out on their houses People finish their dinner and watch TV Get ready for bed and dream about the weekend But you and me, we were so alone In the middle of a crowded room
