lyrics

I have to mend your wounds
Before I subject you to torture
Our love is like a war zone
And the shells are getting closer

We're at Verdun in 1916
On the 16th of December
One of us might live through this
But there won't be a winner

There's lights and sounds coming for me
And I can't tell them from god
I should have left you out here
The desert could use another dog

I'm driving one-fifteen
Down interstate 40 west
I'll be there by morning
Looking for the man without a head

I wrote you a hundred letters
That never left my pen
They all started, Dear John
and ended, see you in hell

But as the headlights pointed
Right into my eyes
I shouted, Dear God
I am not afraid to die

All's quiet on the western front
For moment after moment
I'm way out in no man's land
Right when the shooting starts

I wish that I could hate you
And I hate you more and more
Just remember that I love you
But I can't love you anymore
