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 what other people are there |
I just stare and stare and stare |
I see your shadow in the swimming pool |
I see your face in the shaving mirror |
Time and time and time again |
I follow your footsteps so quietly up the backstairs |
And I hope and I pray you ain’t never going to find me there |
Smooth skin and tenderness long ago on a dark night |
Wish I could see you once again just to remember it was true |
I wanna be still beside you, quiet and still beside you |
Listening to your breathing and feeling your warmth again |
War Baby — you were a |
War Baby — this means |
War Baby — I’m scared, so scared |
Of whatever it is you keep putting me through |
I don’t think I could stand another ten years of this fighting |
All this stabbing and wounding, only getting my own back |
I don’t wanna batter you to your feet and knees and elbows |
When I’m kneeling by the candle at the foot of my own bed |
Corresponding disasters every night on the TV |
Sickening reality keep gripping me in its guts |
All my friends talk and joke and laugh about Armageddon |
But like a nightmare it’s still waiting there |
At the end of each and every day |
War Baby — you were a |
War Baby — this means |
War Baby — I’m scared, so scared |
Whatever it is you keep putting me through |
I don’t think I could stand another ten years of this fighting |
All this stabbing and wounding, only getting my own back |
But later that same evening we were out in the car talking |
I suddenly wondered who the hell it was we were trying to fool |
'Cause you were the first one I ever wanted |
And it’s you I come home to at the end of every day |
Like a mother-sucking baby, demanding and so helpless |
A little old balding man, all wrinkles and bulging eyes |
War Baby |
War Baby — this means |
War Baby — I’m scared, so scared |
Whatever it is you keep putting me through |
You were a War Baby |
Talking 'bout the Third World War, baby |
War Baby — so scared |
