War Child

I'll take you down to that bright city mile

There to powder your sweet face and paint on a smile

That will show all of the pleasures and none of the pain

When you join my explosion and play with my games

War child, dance the days, and dance the nights away

War child, dance the days, and dance the nights away

No unconditional surrender, no Armistice Day

Each night, I'll die in my contentment, and lie in your grave

While you bring me water, and I give you wine

Let me dance in your tea cup, and you shall swim in mine

War child, dance the days, and dance the nights away

Open your windows, and I'll walk through your doors

Let me live in your country, let me sleep by your shores

War child, dance the days, and dance the nights away

War child, dance the days, and dance the nights away

War child, dance the days, and dance the nights away

War child, dance the days, and dance the nights away

War child
