War Surplus Baby Songtext
von Starland Vocal Band

She′s a war surplus baby from Salvation's Army
She plays tambourine and wants to be a star

She stepped out of the Sixties
From a dream world to fix these
Broken promises I play on my guitar

And we made it through somehow
For the bad and good
She always knew we would

See, she believes in miracles and romance,
In learning how to slow dance
In sacrifice, in freedom, and in pain

Yes, she believes in magic
And she tells me the tragic
Side of something beautiful that never ends in vain


Barefoot and sadness
Bell bottom eyes
We did what need to be done
So marched all the marches
Ended all the wars
All the time believing that we won

Don′t the times keep on changing
The stakes get much higher
It's out of the frying pan into the fire

(Made it through somehow)
And we made it through somehow
For the bad and good
She always knew we would

And she still believes
In love in the morning
And love when you need it
If your soul gets hungry you've got to feed it

She′s a war surplus treasure
Her peace is her pleasure
In spite of all this madness
Life Goes On
