Suddenly your miles away

Gone down


To little New Orleans

And everybody moves so slow

Just like the movies



And then it dawns on me sometimes

Elizabeth can't breathe

Everybody stops and stares

Then she feels better



You hear somebody start to say

I'm going to find myself today

Now that my war is won



William, James and me

We like to wonder in the streets

When everything is true and calm

We get our answers



Then the sign comes down

At the end of town

Save our country

Buy more bombs

And we believing

Go out and see what you can get

We're like the whole life I get

Out in the great unknown

You hear someone start to say

I'm going to find myself today

Now that my war is done



Somebody say

Make it all mine



Did you ever think about me sometimes

Elizabeth can't sleep

And everybody's so concerned

Then she feels better



William, James and me

Join all the people in the street

Paper ribbons coming down

Just like the movies



So let the sun come down

At the end of town

Where everything's a shade of red

Just like the pictures



What's that you say Elizabeth?

Go out and see what you can get

Somebody stops and stares

She's feeling better
