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 pass battering rams can t break through the glass 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 cassock 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 pass battering rams can t break through the glass 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 pass battering rams can t break through the glass you said you can t keep on running forever love is the only forever you re sure they ll come around someday
