Under Cover Of Darkness
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Slip back, out of whack, at your best
It's a nightmare, so I'm joining the army
No house phones, but can I still call?
Will you wait for me now?
We've got the right to live, fight to use it
Got everything but you can just choose it
I won't just be a puppet on a string
Don't go that way
I'll wait for you
I'm tired of all your friends
Listening at your door
I want what's better for you
So long, my friend and adversary
But I'll wait for you
Get dressed, jump out of bed into a vest
Are you okay?
I've been all around this town
Everybody's been singing the same song
For ten years
I'll wait for you
Will you wait for me too?
And they sacrifice their lives
And they lied about those odds
They'll say it a million times
And they'll say it again
So long, my adversary and friend
Don't go that way
I'll wait for you
I'm tired of all your friends
Knockin' down your door
Get up in the morning, yelling: No more
So long, my friend and adversary
But I'll wait for you
