-Solo-
Only the very young
And the very beautiful
Can be so aloof
Hanging out with the boys
All swagger and poise
I don't even care
When other people are there
I just stare and stare and stare
I see your shadow
In the swimming pool
I see your face
In the shaving mirror
Time and time and time again
I follow your footsteps
So quietly up the backstairs
And I hope and I pray
You're never going to find me there
Smooth skin and tenderness
Long ago on a dark night
Wish I could see you once again
Just to remember that it was true
I want to be still beside you
Quiet and still beside you
Just listening to your breathing
And feeling your warmth again
Ooh, war baby
Ooh, war baby
Well this means
War baby
I'm scared, so scared
Whatever it is
You keep putting me through
Sounds like somebody
Is out there in the night
Might just be the voice
Of someone I once knew
Hear me, father and mother
If I should cry out loud
As I'm kneeling to light a candle
At the foot of my own bed
Corresponding disasters
Every night on the TV
Sickening reality
Keeps gripping me in its guts
All my friends talk and joke
And they laugh about Armageddon
Like a nightmare
It's still waiting there
At the end of each and every day
Ooh, war baby
Ooh, you are the war baby
Well this means
War baby
I'm scared, so scared
Whatever it is
You keep putting me through
Ooh, war baby
Ooh, you are a war baby
Ooh, war baby
(Don't wanna live in another world)
I'm scared, so scared
Whatever it is
You keep putting me through
-Solos-
I don't think I could stand
Another 10 years of this fighting
All this stabbing and wounding
Only getting my own back
Cause if it's really true
And we're all in this together
Well something's bound give soon
It sure as hell isn't gonna be me
Cause you were the
First one that I ever wanted
And it's you I come home to
At the end of every day
Like a mother-sucking baby
So demanding and helpless
Like a little old balding man
All wrinkles and bulging eyes
Ooh, war baby
Ooh, you are the war baby
Ooh, well this means
War baby
I'm scared, so scared
Whatever it is
You keep putting me through
So here we all are
In the Kino der Jugend
On a cold, dark Friday night
Forgotten by the world outside
Out in their houses
People finish their dinner
And watch t.v.
Get ready for bed
And dream about the weekend
But you and me
We were so, so alone
In the middle of a crowded room
