Verse 1

Standing on the edge of

the palisades cliffs

In the shadow of the

skyline very far away

A lightning rod that couldn’t

pull the storm from me

I was 5 years old my best

friends older brother died

He fell from these cliffs

The river washed him away the

current pulled him downstream

And our lives float in the

headlines so we parked

these cars Parent’s garage

Listen to the lullaby

Of Carbon Monoxide

Chorus 1

War all of the time

In the shadow of the New York skyline

We grew up too fast falling apart

Like the ashes of American flags

The sun doesn’t rise

We replaced it with

an h-bomb explosion

A painted jail cell of blood in

the sky like Three Mile Island

Nightmares on TV they

used to sing us to sleep

They burn on and on like an oil field

Or a memory of what it felt like

To burn on and on and not just fade away

All those nights in the basement

the kids are still screaming

(Hold)

On and on and on and on

Chorus 2

War all of the time

In the shadow of the New York skyline

We grew up too fast falling apart

Like the ashes of American flags

Verse 2

And we’re blowing in the wind

We don’t know where to land

So we kiss like little kids

We used to be very tall buildings

We’ve been falling for so long

Now your eyes follow the

sign on the edge of town

They offer a welcome

when you are leaving

(Repeat Chorus 2)

Verse 3

The pieces fall it’s

like a last day parade

And the fires in our

streets start to rage

so wave, to the people

that long to wave back

from the fabric of a flag

that sang "love all of the time"
