Lyrics |
The phone rings, it's early, it's seven o'clock,he says 'sorry I woke you, but I just had to talk You know last night, rememberwhen I tried to choke you?I didn't mean it, I was drunk, itwas only a joke.' You should know that by now,when the checkered flag comes down,no one no one no one has won the race. The next night he's over and over and underand after he's finished, she lies there and wondersjust why does she need him, andwhy does he stay here,and then in the darkness, she'llquietly say ' Dear,you've never really knownthat when the white flag is flown,no one no one no one has won the war.' They're complicated peopleleading complicated live,and he complicates their problemsby telling complicated lies He tells her he's sorry, she tells him ' It's over,'and he tells her he's sorry, she says over and over' You've never really knownthat when the white flag is flown,no one no one no one has won the war.' There goes a forest and there goes a bluebird There goes a partridge and there goes a Go Train There goes an angel and there goes a steeple There goes a cop car and there goes an eagle There goes a raven and there go the ribbons There goes a raven and there go the ribbons There goes a raven and there go The ribbons the ribbons the ribbons The ribbons of the flag.
