Lyrics
I am a child of the Cold War
Fighting a battle just so I can stay warm
But it only ever seems
Like the makings of a dream
Pretty soon I'll be awake
As long as I can stay alive
You are a product of the new machine
A shining symbol of the highest degree
Or that's what you always say
As I watch you waste away
Baby, even as you broke
I listened as you spoke of
Time goes so slowly I tonight
And as the tanks go by
I have to ask myself why
Why is it always goodbye?
I am a factory thats churning out love
All for a nation that just don't give a fuck
But it only ever seems
I'm giving more than I receive
With no supply and all demand
I'm doin' what I can
And when I go to take a look in your eyes
Why don't you ever take a look back in mine?
Is it fear or is it pride
That is haunting you tonight?
Well even with this ghost
I'll try to make the most of our
Time moves so slowly tonight
And as the tanks go by
I have to ask myself why
Why is it always goodbye, love?
Goodbye, love
But now, as fire turns to ash
Let's make this moment last
The building shaking as they march through the street
Can't take away from how you're looking, my sweet
Like a baby in my arms
I'll shelter you from harm
And deliver you from this
No single moment missed anymore
As time moves so slowly tonight
I look at you and I,
I have to ask myself why
Time moves so slowly tonight
And as the tanks go by
I have to ask myself why
Why is it always goodbye, love?
Goodbye, love
For now, is it too much to ask
To hold me as they pass?
