Girl In The War

Peter said to Paul 'you know all those words we wrote

are just the rules of the game and the rules are the first to go

and now talking to god is Laurel begging Hardy for a gun

I've got a girl in the war, man, I wonder what it is we've done

Well Paul said to Peter you gotta rock yourself a little harder

Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire

You got a girl in the war, son, the only thing I know to do

turn up the music and pray that she makes it through

Because the keys to the kingdom got locked inside the kingdom

And the angels fly around in there, but we can't see them

but I got a girl in the war Paul, I know that they can hear me yell

If they can't find a way to help her, they can go to hell

Paul said to Peter you gotta rock yourself a little harder

Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire

I got a girl in the war, Paul, her eyes are like champagne

They sparkle, bubble over and in the morning all you got is rain

They sparkle, bubble over and in the morning all you got is rain

They sparkle, bubble over and in the morning all you got is rain
