Armistice - Takkra

Dahlias, they come from me A promise to get well That ain't working, thinking that you're no good Don't worry 'cause I'm not the kind to kiss and tell Dahlias and cherry trees I don't recall them anyway Some lovers know it ain't gonna wear out To each his own the same Look what you wasted When the lights are cutting out And I come down in your room Our daily compromise, it is written in your signed armistice And when the lights are cutting out And I come down in your room Well, we'll decide as always, here is your signed armistice It's time to follow and not to heat it up Requesting this plane is a propeller in the middle of the course When ambitions are low Head on close, hang on before you lose control The octagon logo had to rip it up The semaphore message on your lips Some lovers know it ain't gonna wear out To each his own the same What else is wasted? When the lights are cutting out And I come down in your room Our daily compromise, it is written in your signed armistice And when the lights are cutting out And I come down in your room Well, we'll decide as always, here is your signed armistice For lovers in a rush, for lovers always For lovers in a rush, keeping promises For lovers in a rush, for lovers always For lovers in a rush, for lovers always For lovers in a rush, keeping promises For lovers in a rush, for lovers always

On armistice day the philharmonic will play But the songs that we sing will be sad Shufflin' brown tunes Hanging around, ahoo M-m-m-m-m-m-m No long drawn blown out excuses were made When I needed a friend she was there Just like an easy chair Oo, oo-o M-m-m-m-m-m-m Armistice day, Armistice day That's all I really wanted to say Oh, I'm weary from waiting in Washington D.C. A'm coming to see my congressman but he's avoiding me Weary from waiting down in Washington D.C. Oh, congresswoman, won't you tell that congressman I've waited such a long time, I've about waited all I can Oh, congresswoman, won't you tell that congressman
