lyrics

WAITING FOR THE WAR

The ground below is cracking open
as we are dancing in slowmotion
oh we're living such beautiful lies
oh apocalypse in disguise

We’re acting like it isn’t broken
I love you so much I’m almost choking
oh these shimmering golden lights
oh make it feel like we’re alright

Throw another dollar at a dancer
put another cherry on the cake
say a little prayer like you mean it
with a smile on your face
You’re walking right into the line of fire
don't forget to your lipstick on
sing a lullaby for your sweetheart
while we are waiting for the war

Smile for me darling, go get ready
at least we'll die while looking pretty
oh we got everything that we wanted
oh but we live in a house that’s haunted

Throw another dollar at a dancer
put another cherry on the cake
say a little prayer like you mean it
with a smile on your face
You’re walking right into the line of fire
don't forget to your lipstick on
sing a lullaby for your sweetheart
while we are waiting for the war
