Morning news

from The war on "the" by tomorrow night's

lyrics

i'm staying in a big house, i'm a little out of place
i'm sitting on an old floor marked with stains i can't erase
i'm present every night to watch my friends looking to score
i raise my head to smile and then go back to being ignored

they giggle and they laugh and they smoke, i can hear it from here
every little moment is a joke to me
and when we hear the morning news it's time to go to sleep

i lost count of the minutes since i saw you last
i marked them on my bedpost but they just go by too fast
so now instead of time i count the bombs dropped on beirut
and i work at finding ways to let you know i think you're cute

just come on home

and every day i work, i go out in the bitter cold
and i can barely face it; another day of problems that can't be solved
this is the kid who thought that being a writer would be hard
but it's worth it, yeah it's worth it, to buy you dinner

it makes me feel special, it makes me feel real
that i'm allowed to waste your precious time
so you can claim your independence all you like - darling you're mine

oh look! another non song, more nonsense from your man
just turn the tv up and blame it on that fucking band
and i know you'd rather be dancing (i'd probably rather be dancing too)
but in came the third world war, with the morning news

the morning news is i miss you
