Over and Out

Lyrics

[Verse 1] "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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] "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." [Chorus 1] So run for cover as fast as you can Where fighters are lovers, enemies are friends And pens and knives apologize For leaving you [Chorus 2] 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 [Bridge] Let this candle burn 'til you get home Never forget your face, never lose hope Tonight [Chorus 1] Run for cover as fast as you can Where fighters are lovers, enemies are friends And pens and knives apologize For leaving you [Chorus 2] Run for cover and you'll find us there To take on the anger, make it disappear When razor blades were softly serenading you
