War Baby

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
