ALKALINE TRIO

- Over And Out Lyrics

"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
Where fighters are lovers, enemies are friends
And pens and knives apologize for leaving you tonight
For leaving you tonight

"Over and out," he sighed, "it seems I've run out of time.
Please tell my wife I loved 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
Where fighters are lovers, enemies are friends
And pens and knives apologize for leaving you

Run for cover and you'll find us there
To take on the anguish, make it disappear
When hand grenades and napalm flames are 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
Where fighters are lovers, enemies are friends
And pens and knives apologize for leaving you

Run for cover and you'll find us there (Over and out)
To take on the anger, make it disappear (Over and out)
When razor blades were softly serenading you
