Over and Out

"Over and out," she said, from a hospital bed

"For what it's worth, it doesn't hurt, don't cry."

"Over and out," he said, with a .45 to his head

"The war has taken everything from me, it's all I see so..."

Run for cover as fast as you can

Where fighters are lovers, enemies are friends

And pens and knives apologize for leaving you tonight

For leaving 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, no."

So run for cover as fast as you can

Where fighters are lovers, enemies are friends

And pens and knives apologize for leaving you

Run for cover and you'll find us there

To take on the anguish, make it disappear

When 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

Where fighters are lovers, enemies are friends

And pens and knives apologize for leaving you

Run for cover and you'll find us there (Over and out)

To take on the anger, make it disappear (Over and out)

When razor blades were softly serenading you
