Soldiers sleeping in the doorways
Somebody tell 'em when the war ends
There's no telling where the war sends me, but
I just gotta pack my bags
You stand jangling keys
"Be quick about it please!"
I can beg on my knees, but I'm getting what I deserve
What I deserve...
Eternal light shining from the subways
Even in the airways, still feels like you're here
Combing out your split ends
Talking to your girlfriends
I was on my way home; shall I turn around?
"Tomorrow."
Blah blah, such and such
Think I talk too much?
Think I'm superficial?
Well, when the UN sends the missile, I'll be
Wishing
You were
By my
Side
--
Round and round
And round it goes
Where does it stop?
Nobody knows
Hanging by ears
Hanging by toes
When does it stop?
Nobody knows
--
When will I see you again?
I will return
Round and round and round and round
And round and round and round
And round and round
And round
And round
And round
