Jesus, Jesus, what's it all about? Tryin' to clout these little ingrates into shape When I was their age all the lights went out There was no time to whine or mope about
And even now part of me flies over Dresden at angels one five Though they'll never fathom it behind my Sarcasm desperate memories lie
Sweetheart, sweetheart are you fast asleep? Good That's the only time that I can really speak to you And there's something that I've locked away A memory that is too painful to withstand the light of day
When we came back from the war The banners and flags hung on everyone's door We danced and we sang in the streets And the church bells ring
But burning in my heart My memory smolders on Of the gunner's dying words On the intercom
