"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 run for cover as fast as you can
Where fighters are lovers and enemies are friends
And pens and knives apologize for leaving you tonight
Leaving 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 are lovers and enemies are friends
And pens and knives apologize for leaving you
Run for cover and you'll find us there
We'll take on the anguish, make it disappear
With hand grenades and napalm flames
Are leaving you tonight
Let this candle burn 'til you get home
Never forget your face, never lose hope tonight
Run for cover as fast as you can
Where fighters are lovers and enemies are friends
And pens and knives apologize for leaving you
Run for cover and you'll find us there
(Over and out)
We'll take on the anger, make it disappear
(Over and out)
When razorblades were softly serenading you
