Wake up   Say good morning to that sleepy person lying next to you   If there’s no one there, then there’s no one there   But at least the war is over   It’s us   Yes, we’re back again   Here to see you through til the day’s end   And if the night comes, and the night will come   Well at least the war is over   Lift your head and look out the window   Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go   Listen the birds sing   Listen the bells ring   All the living are dead, and the dead are all living   The war is over and we are beginning   Gridlock   On the parkway now   The television man is here to show you how   The channel fades to snow   It’s off to work you go   But at least the war is over   She’s gone   She left before you woke   As you ate last night   Neither of you smoked   Dishes, TV, bed   The dark was filled with dread   But at least the war is over   Lift your head   And look out the window   Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go   Listen, the birds sing   Listen, the bells ring   All the living are dead, and the dead are all living   The war is over and we are beginning   We won   Or we think we did   When you went away   You were just a kid   And if you lost it all   And you lost it   Well we’ll still be there when your war is over   Lift your head and look out the window   Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go   Listen the birds sing   Listen the bells ring   All the living are dead and the dead are all living   The war is over and we are beginning   Here it comes   Here comes the first step   Here it comes   Here comes the first step   It Stars Up in our bedroom after the war   It starts Up in our bedroom after the war   After the war
