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
