A pair of dog tags you called sympathynHung like a cross around your necknOn tired streets you sermoned tirelesslynFor the crowds that gathered in your headnnNo one seems to notice as they passnBattering rams can’t break through the glassnYou said you can’t keep on running forevernLove is the only forevernYou’re sure they’ll come around somedaynn’73 black leather bomber coatnDraped like a cassock across your chestnOn stormy nights sometimes I’d stop and you would smilenAnd swear the rain don’t get us wetnnNo one seems to notice as they passnBattering rams can’t break through the glassnYou said you can’t keep on running forevernLove is the only forevernYou’re sure they’ll come around somedaynnBut no one ever came aroundnThose pretty words they let you downnAnd the last time I went bynThe only thing that I could findnWas a beat up cardboard sign that said love will save us allnnYou had this grin that you called honestynSmelled more like liquor on your breathnIn a moment of clarity you said freedom’s just worth dying fornIf you’ve got none to live for leftnnNo one seems to notice as they passnBattering rams can’t break through the glassnYou said you can’t keep on running forevernLove is the only forevernYou’re sure they’ll come around someday
