Commodore

Commodore, commodore, commodore

Well, save yourself, the cellars cold but dry

Commodore, commodore, commodore

Well, grab your coat the wind'll blow out your eyes

Well, this closet's not cold with the embers in my hair

Even papa sleeps tonight

Mama said the war will end just as soon as it began

But then why do we sit and hide? Commodore, oh why?

Commodore, commodore, hide those books

Your candles will keep you warm tonight

Commodore, commodore, commodore

When they knock your place drown the cellar light

Well, this closet's not cold with the embers in my hair

Even papa sleeps tonight

Mama said the war will end just as soon as it began

But then why do we sit and hide? Commodore, oh why?

It's the blackest of the nights

And the moon won't shine it's light

And the streets stained red so bright

Well, this closet's not cold with the embers in my hair

Even papa sleeps tonight

Mama said the war will end just as soon as it began

But then why do we sit and hide?

Mama said the war will the end just as soon as it began

Even Papa slept tonight

But no not me I sat and stared out the window to the streets

And saw men and women die

My God, my God, oh why?

My God, oh why?

My God, oh why?

My God, oh why?
