Armistice Songtext
von Alex Schaaf

I′ve been waiting so long for you
What do I wait for now?
I'm at the top of our stairs, darling
Trying to work it out
Sit and look, stand and read
I don′t know what to do
Yeah, it's a privilege, but goddamn it

Like the old, clean spring rise
I had a job to do
The shit that keeps me occupied
I'm too embarrassed to tell you
Ages come and ages go
Don′t leave that mark on me
I kept my frame of burning stone
My only progeny


′Cause I've been waiting so long for you
What do I wait for now?
I′m at the top of our stairs, darling
Trying to work it out
Sit and look, stand and read
I don't know what to do
Yeah, it′s a privilege, but goddamn it

Armistice was good for you
And I guess I can't complain
But the war is good for work, oh
I was busy every day
Now I′m drifting at a loss
For ways to sympathize
With a world that sees the sun, oh
With dry and gleaming eyes

If this is all there is
I'm out driving
Across the Mississippi twice
I'm circling with a body
That′s rusted out
Just another quiet night


′Cause I've been waiting so long for you
What do I wait for now?
I′m in the garden out back, pacing
Waving my hands around
Never told what I should do
After the war was won
Yeah, it's a privilege, but goddamn it

It′s a privilege, but goddamn it
