Decemberists - After the Bombs lyrics

rate me

After the bombs subside

And this long, low campaign

Calls it good for the night

We meet in the streets

Will we meet in a bar’s cold light?

We grip at our hands

We hold just a little tight

After the bombs

After the bombs subside

And after the rockets come

And the glimmer of fire

Pretends an early dawn

We pinch at our skin

While we wonder how we escaped harm

We forget all our trials

All there in our baby’s arms

After the rockets

After the rockets come

Then we’ll go dancing

Won’t we go dancing?

Yes, we’ll go dancing

Until it all starts over again

Then we’ll go dancing

Yes, we’ll go dancing

Won’t we go dancing?

Until it all starts over again
