Straws - Bill Ward

I’m sorry to wake you from

Your sleep

Now baby open up your eyes

We have to go downstairs

Find some shelter

Get some help

And stay alive

How am I supposed to save you

In this chaos

Clinging, please don’t die

Where are the defenses

We were promised, oh I hope that they’ve arrived

M8 Bring it on, the misery, tonight

Come and tell the story here tonight

We never ever have to even look

no no

no no

no no

Turn away, we never have to look

no no

no no

no no

Put your eyes on mine forever

This will be our last endeavor

Baby we won’t ever have to look

Daddy’s in the Army, Daddy’s in the Army

And, Mommy’s joining too

God help all the countries

They do know what they do

We never ever have to even look

no no

no no

no no

Turn away, we never have to look

no no

no no

no no

Hell bound in the senses

Much too late to point and blame

When questioning why

Let’s pretend that we’re dancing

As in yesterday, when it was stars that

filled the sky

Yeah, sky

M8 Bring it on, the misery, tonight

Come and tell the story here tonight

We never ever have to even look

no no

no no

no no

Turn away, we never have to look

no no

no no

no no

Put your eyes on mine forever

This will be our last endeavor

Baby we won’t ever have to look
