Year Zero

Don't leave me helpless – I'm not that much of a hero.
Being alive, it's so hard to survive in year zero.
I heard lovers are pawns – Turn around and it's gone –
In year zero.

Fairies are dancing in time to a waltz
In year zero.
Coppers will show us in time who is boss
In year zero.
They're beating us out in the street - -
But if you still love me we'll meet
In year zero.

We can try to hide our feelings.
We can try to hide ourselves.
I'm under your spell – I'm under the swell
Of year zero.

Birds will be flying us trips 'round the moon
In year zero.
Seven years before the future marched off to war
In year zero.

Watching our passions come and go - -
If you feel a passion let me know.
All that I know and all that I love
Was lost in the shell of the few things remaining!

Talking won't get you no place anymore
In year zero.
Crying won't help us 'cause things aren't the same
In year zero.
Do what we can to survive –
As long as we both stay alive
In year zero.

All of the people stranded –
So much more is demanded.
All that I know
And all that I love
Was lost with the pull
And gone with the shove
Of year zero.
