Thursday - War All The Time Lyrics
Standing on the edge of the palisades cliffsIn the shadow of the skyline very far awayA lightning rod that couldn’t pull the storm from meI was 5 years old my best friends older brother diedHe fell from these cliffsThe river washed him away the current pulled him downstreamAnd our lives float in the headlines, so we parked these carsParent’s garageListen to the lullabyOf Carbon MonoxideWar all of the timeIn the shadow of the New York skylineWe grew up too fast falling apartLike the ashes of American flagsIf the sun doesn't riseWe'll replace it with an H-bomb explosionA painted jail cell of blood in the sky like Three Mile IslandNightmares on TV they used to sing us to sleepThey burn on and on like an oil fieldOr a memory of what it felt likeTo burn on and on and not just fade awayAll those nights in the basement the kids are still screamingOn and on and on and onWar all of the timeIn the shadow of the New York skylineWe grew up too fast falling apartLike the ashes of American flagsAnd we’re blowing in the windWe don’t know where to landSo we kiss like little kidsWe used to be very tall buildingsWe’ve been falling for so longNow your eyes follow the sign on the edge of townThey offer a welcome when you are leavingWar all of the timeIn the shadow of the New York skylineWe grew up too fast falling apartLike the ashes of American flagsThe pieces fall it’s like a last day paradeAnd the fires in our streets start to rage,so wave, to the people that long to wave back,from the fabric of a flag that sang "love all of the time"War all the time War all the timeAll of the timeWar all the timeWar all the timeAll of the timeAll of the timeWar all of the timeWar all of the timeWar all of the timeWar all of the time
