lyrics

Another night of countin' cards, jokers gettin' trashed;
another windy morning with the flag at half-mast.
Somewhere someone did something that they shouldn't have.
Somewhere there's a side of you that I will never know.

Bunkered in the suburbs, where they reenact their wars,
simulating battles after doin' all the chores.
Union fightin' rebels fightin commies fightin' bums;
down the street they celebrate another tariff gone.

Markets crash and towers burn, automatic doors open for
you and me and we say: "let me love you; let me know all of everything."

Grandpa sold cars, drank beer on our stoop;
memorized Leviticus like all the other Jews.
Sayin, "Hey mister, it's exactly what it seems:
for 35 you're drivin' the American Dream."

His theater was Korea back in 1953;
the war was never won, but it's a technicality.
I'm a 20-minutes' march from the place we call home;
I'll never have your number, I can feel it in my bones.

Markets crash and towers burn, automatic doors open for
you and me and we say: "let me love you; let me know all of everything."

We'll never know, we'll never know...
