Alkaline Trio - Over and Out lyrics

"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
Enemies are friends
And pens and knives apologize
For leaving you tonight
For 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 it'self"
"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
Enemies are friends
And pens and knives apologize
For leaving you

Run for cover and you'll find us there
To take on the anguish, make it disappear
When 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
Enemies are friends
And pens and knives apologize
For leaving you

Run for cover and you'll find us there
To take on the anger, make it disappear
When razor blades were softly serenading you
