My only crime was that I should fall for you
with your little white lies, the stars in your skies
and those crimson lips on you
I wait by my radio at the end of a burning fuse
I'd die to hear some word from the outside world
How many battles did I lose
I'd take you poor or tired, baby
Show me your body of lies and I'll show you mine
The only war that I've fought lately
was over a lover I lost, an ex-patriot
I sleep to the sound of bombs burst in air
America you can light it up but can you judge us just as fair?
I died on the radio with the hole in my heart for a change
and the bullet shells were a hero's welcome
and all my allegiance drains.
don't ever run, don't let them take you alive
fire your gun by the dawn's early light...
