Over and out she said
From a hospital bed
For what its worth it doesn't hurt don't cry
Over and out he said
With a forty-five to his head
The war has taken everything from me
Its all I see so

Run for cover as fast as you can
Fighters and lovers and enemies of friends
Pens and knives apologize
Believing you tonight
Leavin' you tonight

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 so

Run for cover as fast as you can
Where fighters and lovers and enemies are friends
And pens and knives apologize
For leaving you

Run for cover and you'll find a stand
Take on the anguish make it disappear
When hand grenades and napalm flames
Are leaving you tonight

Let this candle burn till you get home
Never forget forget your face
Never lose hope
Tonight

Run for cover as fast as you can
Fighters and lovers and enemies of friends
Pens and knives apologize
Believing you

Run for cover and you'll find a stand
Take on the anger make it disappear
When razor blades were softly serenading you
