A pair of dog tags you called sympathy
Hung like a cross around your neck
On tired streets you sermoned tirelessly
For the crowds that gathered in your head
No one seems to notice as they pa**
Battering rams can't break through the gla**
You said you can't keep on running forever
Love is the only forever
You're sure they'll come around someday
'73 black leather bomber coat
Draped like a ca**ock across your chest
On stormy nights sometimes I'd stop and you would smile
And swear the rain don't get us wet
No one seems to notice as they pa**
Battering rams can't break through the gla**
You said you can't keep on running forever
Love is the only forever
You're sure they'll come around someday
But no one ever came around
Those pretty words they let you down
And the last time I went by
The only thing that I could find
Was a beat up cardboard sign that said love will save us all
You had this grin that you called honesty
Smelled more like liquor on your breath
In a moment of clarity you said freedom's just worth dying for
If you've got none to live for left
No one seems to notice as they pa**
Battering rams can't break through the gla**
You said you can't keep on running forever
Love is the only forever
You're sure they'll come around someday
