Alkaline Trio – Over And Out

“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

We’re fighters, lovers, enemies, friends

And guns and knives apologize for leaving you tonight

Leaving you tonight

“Over and out”, he sighed

“Seems I’ve run out of time

Please tell my wife I love her more than life itself”

“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

We’re fighters, lovers, enemies, friends

And guns and knives apologize for leaving you

Run for cover and you’ll find us there

We’ll take out the anguish, make it disappear

With hand grenades and napalm flames, I’m 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

We’re fighters, lovers, enemies, friends

And pens and knives apologize for leaving you

Run for cover and you’ll find us there (over and out)

We’ll take on the anger, make it disappear (over and out)

With razorblades we’re softly serenading you
