They forgot to put your mention in the papers Maybe when I heard the whisper of your name I turned away Every day the strangest faces get familiar With reluctance I say goodbye to the surprise There's no time now for talk we're at war Go on and even out the score I've lost the count They don't even fly em out Don't even fly em at half mast anymore Keep on preying on the good will of your neighbor Keep on playing with an open flame You're good, either way Every second there's a story that's just ended Every second there's a new one playing out. And another And another And another There's no time now for talk we're at war Go on and even out the score I've lost the count They don't even fly em out Don't even fly em ou at half mast anymore Fourteen thousand empty sneakers at the doorway to a silent chamber Fourteen thousand empty sneakers loaded down with heavy shiny reasons There's no time now for talk we're at war Go on and even out the score I've lost the count You've lost count Then we lose out They don't even fly em out at half mast anymore
