Verse 1

Standing on the edge of

 the palisades cliffs

In the shadow of the

 skyline very far away

 A lightning rod that couldn’t

pull the storm from me

I was 5 years old my best

 friends older brother died

 He fell from these cliffs

 The river washed him away the

current pulled him downstream

 And our lives float in the

headlines so we parked

 these cars Parent’s garage

 Listen to the lullaby

 Of Carbon Monoxide

Chorus 1

War all of the time

 In the shadow of the New York skyline

 We grew up too fast falling apart

 Like the ashes of American flags

 The sun doesn’t rise

 We replaced it with

 an h-bomb explosion

 A painted jail cell of blood in

 the sky like Three Mile Island

Nightmares on TV they

 used to sing us to sleep

 They burn on and on like an oil field

 Or a memory of what it felt like

 To burn on and on and not just fade away

 All those nights in the basement

 the kids are still screaming

(Hold)

On and on and on and on

Chorus 2

War all of the time

 In the shadow of the New York skyline

 We grew up too fast falling apart

 Like the ashes of American flags

Verse 2

And we’re blowing in the wind

 We don’t know where to land

 So we kiss like little kids

 We used to be very tall buildings

We’ve been falling for so long

 Now your eyes follow the

 sign on the edge of town

 They offer a welcome

when you are leaving

(Repeat Chorus 2)

Verse 3

 The pieces fall it’s

 like a last day parade

 And the fires in our

 streets start to rage

 so wave, to the people

 that long to wave back

 from the fabric of a flag

 that sang "love all of the time"
