War Surplus Baby
She's a war surplus baby from Salvation's Army
She plays tambourine and wants to be a star
She stepped out of the Sixties
From a dream world to fix these
Broken promises I play on my guitar
And we made it through somehow
For the bad and good
She always knew we would
See, she believes in miracles and romance,
In learning how to slow dance
In sacrifice, in freedom, and in pain
Yes, she believes in magic
And she tells me the tragic
Side of something beautiful that never ends in vain
Barefoot and sadness
Bell bottom eyes
We did what need to be done
So marched all the marches
Ended all the wars
All the time believing that we won
Don't the times keep on changing
The stakes get much higher
It's out of the frying pan into the fire
(made it through somehow)
And we made it through somehow
For the bad and good
She always knew we would
And she still believes
In love in the morning
And love when you need it
If your soul gets hungry you've got to feed it
She's a war surplus treasure
Her peace is her pleasure
In spite of all this madness
Life Goes On
She plays tambourine and wants to be a star
She stepped out of the Sixties
From a dream world to fix these
Broken promises I play on my guitar
And we made it through somehow
For the bad and good
She always knew we would
See, she believes in miracles and romance,
In learning how to slow dance
In sacrifice, in freedom, and in pain
Yes, she believes in magic
And she tells me the tragic
Side of something beautiful that never ends in vain
Barefoot and sadness
Bell bottom eyes
We did what need to be done
So marched all the marches
Ended all the wars
All the time believing that we won
Don't the times keep on changing
The stakes get much higher
It's out of the frying pan into the fire
(made it through somehow)
And we made it through somehow
For the bad and good
She always knew we would
And she still believes
In love in the morning
And love when you need it
If your soul gets hungry you've got to feed it
She's a war surplus treasure
Her peace is her pleasure
In spite of all this madness
Life Goes On
