in our bedroom after the war

wake up! say good morning to that sleepy person lying next to you

if there's no one there

then there's no one there

but at least the war is over

it's us - yes

we're back again

here to see you through

'til the days end

and if the night comes

and the night will come

well at least the war is over

lift your head and look out the window

stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go

listen! the birds sing! listen! the bells ring!

all the living are dead

and the dead are all living

the war is over and we are beginning. gridlock on the parkway now

the television man is here to show you how

the channel fades to snow

it's off to work you go

but at least the war is over

she's gone

she left before you woke

as you ate last night

neither of you spoke

dishes

t.v. bed

the darkness filled with dread

but at least the war is over

lift your head and look out the window

stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go

listen! the birds sing! listen! the bells ring!

all the living are dead

and the dead are all living

the war is over and we are beginning. we won

or we think we did

when you went away

you were just a kid

and if you lost it all

and you lost it

we will still be there when the war is over

lift your head and look out the window

stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go

listen! the birds sing! listen! the bells ring!

all the living are dead

and the dead are all living

the war is over and we are beginning. here it comes! here comes the first day! here it comes! here comes the first day!

it starts up in our bedroom after the war

after the war! after the war.
