The shit hits the town, when the Chrysler plant shuts down.
I signed on as a soldier because nobody gets older in that Neverland.

But soon I would be learning that every bush was burning
In that heathen sand.

But Our Lady of Pompeii you are...Pretty in Gray in his arms of clay.
But what were you going to say before?
Everybody fights a war. Everybody fights a war.
Everybody fights a war...but you.
You're just waiting for your black nightingale.

Everybody fights a war. Everybody fights a war. Everybody fights a war...the ditches are full of witches, but a saint dies with her boots on.
