White Flag 1986 - White Flag

Took the acid in the afternoon

Just to be part of the scenery

With all the lonely people there we are

Took a trip out to the galaxy

I’m not looking for salvation

Just a taste of liberation

I said, my friends

Like to sit all day

And watch the stars bend

I can see your white flag flying in the distance

I know that it’s lonely there where you are

If everything’s so perfect tell me why you’re hurting

It won’t be long

Took a trip out to the girly show

It was there I talked to Jesus

He said Christ don’t you believe it, no, no

Another drink and we talked all night

I asked does it hurt to be you

He said boy it hurts like hell

He said, my friends

Like to sit all day

And watch the stars bend

I can see your white flag flying in the distance

I know that it’s lonely there where you are

If everything’s so perfect tell me why you’re hurting

It won’t be long

I can see your white flag

Three A.M.

and the light’s so strange

Little Rosa’s started dancing now

With all the lonely people there we are

Leans to me asks for a cigarette

I asked does it hurt to be you

She said boy it hurts like hell

She said, my friends

Like to sit all day

And watch the starts bend

I can see your white flag flying in the distance

I know that you’re lonely there where you are

If everything is perfect tell me why you’re hurting

It won’t be long, no

I can see your white flag flying in the distance

I know that you’re lonely there where you are

If everything is perfect tell me why you’re hurting

It won’t be long

I can see your white flag

I know that you’re lonely there where you are

If everything’s so perfect tell me why you’re hurting

It won’t be long

It won’t be long
