War Babies lyrics

Oh baby, you know you missed the fight
(He's a trouble maker, he's a trouble man)
Alligator wrecked the bar last night
(He's a trouble maker, he's a trouble man)
I guess he had fun, to some people fun is a drag
Gathers lady had to hitch a ride
(She's a trouble lady, to a trouble man)
She got picked up by some guys in some band
You'd never believe what they did to a fan

Oh, living the life of a madman's wife, has got to be unreal
'Cause she's got to hold on to ground control
While Jack does what he feels
Well he stays away, and then he comes home
And he never knows where he's been
Jack blasts downtown then he's over the line,
And then he's a kid again
Jack said" It's hard living in a dream, and it's hard
Always giving in to me"

In bed sittin' and reading by the T. V. light
Stay away from the window, thunder and lighting
And the rain, the rain keeps fallin' down
That's something that hasn't changed
Yeah, there's something inside me, it's quiet when it rains
At the end of the rainbow, there ain't no pot of gold
And the light in the morning, hardly ever shows
Ain't no easy living, everybody knows

Can't find the reason to stay with you
And by now a reason should appear
Anybody else could understand my fear
That, You're Much Too Soon
Much too much
You're much too much, too soon
You're Much Too Soon
Don't think I'm blown away, by what I am
It's just a job, that keeps me traveling
One thing I've learned is how to take my time
You're Much Too Soon
Much too much

Is it a star, or is it me
You say you believe in
And the nights
When my stage smiles not so wild, and ain't coming easy
Can't you see it's me
All broken down inside
Can't you see it's me
All broken down inside
Can't you see it's me
Honey, you've been dreaming
Then they'll meet you on the streets, and say they've had
A crush on you, for a year or two, maybe three

Well it's ten o'clock
Jewel Jewel, and it's time to see you
Scan around the block
Oh, you Jewel in the monitor screen
I can usually find you near 42nd and 8th
A whore in a doorway (yeah)
I think I've found you Jewel, wit my T.V. beam
You know it's funny, the light in the night,
Does something to your face
And the way you look, reminds me of a girl I used to want
In Junior High

He's A War Baby, Son Of Zorro
He's A War Baby, Son Of Zorro
War Baby
Been through Momma, the bomb and 'Nam
He's a war, he's a war
He's a war
He's a war baby
He's a worn baby, born in '45
He's a torn baby, but he's still alive
Ate puffed wheat, X-rayed his feet
Scared baby, ain't in the Atomic Age
War baby
Water ice, sleeveless fights, Despot, I know, yes, I know

Come here talkin', like a schoolboy fool
Cute and rotten
Ooh, Beanie G. and your Rose Tattoo
Keep on rockin' like the Geator say (keep on)
White clogs knockin'
Oh, oh, oh, Beanie G. wonder can you play?
Don't be no punk, don't be no candy ass
Don't flunk the test, then expect to pass
Don't understand, and yet afraid to ask
So why you wanna waste your time?

He's the star of the stage, and he screams all night
'Cause he can't get to sleep at all
And his favorite book, by the T.V. light, can't stop the matinee,
He's played it over and over
He Can't Stop The Music, or remember the ending to his song
He played it much too long
All those hard-earned words, that he's fought from his pen
Have been forgotten in some empty hall
