Thursday - War All The Time
Standing on the edge of the Palisades’ Cliffs
In the shadow the skyline
It seemed very far away
Like a lightning rod
That couldn’t pull the storm from me
I was 5 years old
My best friend’s older brother died.
He fell from these cliffs and the river washed him away.
The current pulled him downstream and our lives float in the headlines.
So we park these cars in our parents’ garage
To listen to the lullaby of carbon monoxide;
War all of the time
In the shadow of the NY skyline.
We grew up too fast.
Now we’re falling apart
Like the ashes of American Flags.
If the sun doesn’t rise,
We’ll replace it with an H-bomb explosion.
A painted jail cell of light in the sky
Like three mile island nightmares on TVs that sing us to sleep.
They bu
on and on like an oil field
or a memory of what it felt like
to bu
on and on and not just fade away.
All those nights in the basement the kids are still screaming,
"on and on and on and on"
War all of the time
In the shadow of the NY skyline.
We grew up too fast.
Now we’re falling apart
Like the ashes of American Flags.
And we’re blowing in the wind
We don’t know where to land
So we kiss like little kids
We used to be very tall buildings
But we’ve been falling for so long.
Now your eyes are a sign on the edge of town
they offer a welcome, when you are leaving.
War all of the time
In the shadow of the NY skyline.
We grew up too fast.
Now we’re falling apart
Like the ashes of American Flags.
Whe the pieces fall it’s like a last-day parade
and the fires in our streets start to rage.
So wave to all the people who long to wave back
from the fabric of a flag that sang LOVE all of the time.
War all the time
War all the time
War all of the time
All of the time...
...
In the shadow the skyline
