Simone Felice War Movie Lyrics

I had the telephone in the dark
Your voice on the other end so far away
You say you'll never break my heart
And that's the way the war movie starts

A boy can be used, girl
To sleeping in his car
There's been black nights I've known
The coldest sound in Christendom
It's the clack-clack of the boot heels on the march
That's the way the war movie starts

Cause we're born of a violent kind of love
The crackhead of second street tells of five different kinds of silence
It's four in the morning
And he's keeping you up
He tells of one everlasting rain to change these rifles to rust

Come on down babe
We go to dance in the streets Marlo Brando he ain't got nothin' on me
But I'm really just a boy with this emptiness I keep inside
But I'm not the only one with war in my eyes
I'm not the only one...

Come all ye faithless suns of man
Coe all ye October girls with your cheeks
All fire and mayhem
Where did you sleep last night?
Nobody knows
I guess that's the way the war movie starts
Last flashback after we're dead
You run through a summer field
And you wrap your legs around me
I spin you round and round again
And that's the way the war movie ends
Ain't that always the way war movies end
That's the way the war movie ends
