about

Contains elements of Debussy's Piano Preludes and an excerpt from Victor Fleming's "Gone With The Wind"

lyrics

I keep my records in the basement
Under lock, under key
I keep my shoes in the closet
Where my lovers used to be
I watch the war on the TV
I see the tanks in the street
There's a hole in the ozone
Where my church used to be
I call my girl from a payphone
But she never is awake
I never know what the answers are
But I never hesitate
And I throw my two cents in
I put my vote in the box
I close my eyes to the world around me
I pretend that it's not

And when I dream it's in color
And when I come it's to you
And when I speak it's just
words and phrases pieced together
Saying what I think you want me to
And when I trip it's cause I'm patient
Patient with the way you let me go
Dreaming of a world that we could change if we were still together
Dreaming of the things I'll never know

Every war is a candle
Every bullet is a cloud
Every body in the ground is a teardrop
Every country is a crowd
And every girl is a pane of glass
And every boy is a stone
And every love is a bomb with a target
Just waiting to explode
