girl in the war

Peter said to Paul,
You know All those words that we wrote
Are just the rules of the game and the rules are the first to go
But now talkin' to God is Laurel beggin' Hardy for a gun
I gotta girl in the war, man I wonder what it is we done

Paul said to Peter,
You gotta rock yourself a little harder
Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire
And I got a girl in the war, Paul, the only thing I know to do
Is turn up the music and pray that she makes it through

Because the keys to the kingdom got locked inside the kingdom
And the angels fly around in there, but we can't see them
And I gotta girl in the war, Paul, I know that they can hear me yell
If they can't find a way to help her, they can go to Hell
If they can't find a way to help her, they can go to Hell

Paul said to Peter,
You gotta rock yourself a little harder
Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire
But I gotta girl in the war, Paul, her eyes are like champagne
They sparkle, bubble over, in the morning all you got is rain
Sparkle, bubble over, in the morning all you got is rain
They sparkle, bubble over, in the morning all you got is rain
