"The War Is Over" lyrics

"The War Is Over"

A man once told me that life was like a collage
He said there's nothing much to spies like us
Just killing time, that's all
And there are spacecraft orbiting the earth
Guided by 90-year-old Russians that haven't heard
The war is over, how do you feel?
And how have you been, baby?
Well she got married and she had kids
And they fear sex and not the bomb
And the rest is just ad libbed
And me I'm waiting for something that does not come
For something to crack, for something to go wrong
I'm inside out, I'm inside out, and I'd say

This is where we get off
This is where we do anything we want
And this is where I amuse you

A man once told me that life was like a collage
He said the truth is not radio friendly espionage
The war is over, how do you feel?
And where have you been, baby?
Well we got stuck and we got lost
Between goodbye and the chemical sky
And a nuclear albatross
When I sleep, I see rain
When I'm alone, I am in pain
And everything is not the same
As on the big screen
I'm inside out, yeah I'm inside out
Inside out, and I'm inside out
And I'd say

This is where we get off
This is where we do anything we want
And this is where I amuse you
This is where I amuse you

The war is over!
The war is over!
There's nothing much to spies like us

And this is where I amuse you
