War Surplus Baby

She's a war surplus baby from Salvation's Army She plays tambourine and wants to be a star She stepped out of the Sixties From a dream world to fix these Broken promises I play on my guitar And we made it through somehow For the bad and good She always knew we would See, she believes in miracles and romance, In learning how to slow dance In sacrifice, in freedom, and in pain Yes, she believes in magic And she tells me the tragic Side of something beautiful that never ends in vain Barefoot and sadness Bell bottom eyes We did what need to be done So marched all the marches Ended all the wars All the time believing that we won Don't the times keep on changing The stakes get much higher It's out of the frying pan into the fire (Made it through somehow) And we made it through somehow For the bad and good She always knew we would And she still believes In love in the morning And love when you need it If your soul gets hungry you've got to feed it She's a war surplus treasure Her peace is her pleasure In spite of all this madness Life Goes On
