New Jerusalem

Well there is a wall falling down on me
I don't remember who I am supposed to be
Cold comfort comes, but I still can't sleep

And the city lies in ruins
And the bombs fall on the last platoon
But daddy says we'll be home soon

And we'll pretend some more
That there was never any war

So I tie my tie up tight
Brush my hair back out of my eyes
And I sing your songs of joy and light

And I pretend some more
That there was never any war

So cover your scars tonight
Cover your tear stained eyes
Cover your desperate mouth
Cover your fear and doubt
Cover your worldy ties
Cover your hallow eyes
Cover your sex and lies
Tell me one more time
There was never any war

Stop crying, or I'll give you a reason to cry
Stop crying, or I'll give you a reason to cry
Stop crying, or I'll give you a reason to cry
Stop dying, it's just so hard on my eyes

Stop crying, or I'll give you a reason to cry
Stop crying, or I'll give you a reason to cry
Stop crying, or I'll give you a reason to cry
Stop dying, it's just so hard on my eyes
Stop
