Loving Arms

These days love’s light is a nuclear white

Your smile was an atom bomb

Your kisses were the missiles, and they landed on my lips

My resistance was a pittance up against your loving arms

From the dugout trenches where the wounded take retreat

I set off with my army, keen to kill

We took our position, eyed the oncoming opposition

Then hightailed it back into the hills

Cease-fire, soldier, lay the weapon at your feet

Give up your arms to hold her and concede defeat

It’s sweet surrender in your loving arms

Flank, charge, tank descent, surface to air

Blitzkrieg, bait & bleed, chemical warfare

Line ‘em all up and watch ‘em all fail

Running on a rat wheel, chasing your tail

Cease-fire, soldier, lay the weapon at your feet

Give up your arms to hold her and concede defeat It’s sweet surrender in your loving arms
