Commodore

(album: The Sun Is Always Brighter - 2008)

Commodore, commodore, commodore
Well save yourself
The cellars cold but dry
Commodore, commodore, commodore
Well grab your coat
The wind'll blow out your eyes

Well this closet's not cold
With the embers in my hair
Even papa sleeps tonight
Mama said the war will end
Just as soon as it began
But then why do we sit and hide?
Commodore, oh why?

Commodore, commodore
Hide those books
Your candles will keep you warm tonight
Commodore, commodore, commodore
When they knock your place
Drown the cellar light

Well this closet's not cold
With the embers in my hair
Even papa sleeps tonight
Mama said the war will end
Just as soon as it began
But then why do we sit and hide?
Commodore, oh why?

It's the blackest of the nights
And the moon won't shine it's light
And the streets stained red so bright

Well this closet's not cold
With the embers in my hair
Even papa sleeps tonight
Mama said the war will end
Just as soon as it began
But then why do we sit and hide?
Mama said the war will the end
Just as soon as it began
Even papa slept tonight
But no not me I sat and stared
Out the window to the streets
And saw men and women die
My god my god, oh why?
My god, oh why?
My god, oh why?
My god, oh why?
