War Is Looming

War is looming
 And rags are all we have
 Tie a makeshift noose or
 Tie your colours to the flag
 And pick a side to fall down on
 And pray that you'll survive
 Meet me in Hamburg
 Or meet me in the afterlife
 Murder in the border town
 It was murder in the first degree
 She was running away from the state
 And taking refuge in my dreams
 She said a blood-dimmed tide is loose
 Lucifer is on the rise
 Hiding in the dole queues
 And in the bread lines
 But I know, it's different for girls
 I know, it's different for you
 I know, for the likes of us
 I'm g-g-g-g-g-g-gonna tell you
 How we lost our heads at the rendezvous
 In an old cafe where the music played
 Her foreign tongue gave it all away
 I know, it's different for girls
 I know, it's different for you
 I know, for the likes of us
 And I hope someday
 (We'll know who we are)
 (We'll know who we are)
 (We'll know who we are)
 (We'll know who we are)
 We'll know who we are)
 Wake up darling, morning's breaking
 The world is ending
 But it's fine cause all
 We ever want and ever were is lost in time
