Over and out he said
from a hospital bed
for what its worth it doesn't hurt don't cry
over and out he said
with a forty-five to his head
the war has taken everything from me
its all i see so please dont cry...

Over and out, he sighed
it seems I've run out of time
please tell my wife i loved her more than life itself
over and out, she sang
as the telephone rang
there's no pain no answering no more so please don't worry...

an easy life
an untimely death
this doesn't work at all for me
so save your breath
you took your time
and stashed it away
deep down inside of a cardboard box marked "rainy day" ...
