War Surplus Baby

She's a war surplus baby
From salvation's army
She plays tambourine and wants to be a star
She stepped out of the sixties
From a dream world to fix these
Broken promises I play on my guitar

And we made it through somehow
For the bad and good
She always knew we would
You see, she believes

In miracles and romance
Learning how to slow dance
In sacrifice, in freedom and in pain
Yeah, she believes in magic
And she tells me the tragic side
Of something beautiful that never ends in vain

Barefoot in sadness
Bell-bottom eyes
We did what needed to be done
So we marched all the marches
Ended all the wars
All the time believing that we won

Don't the times keep on changing?
The stakes get much higher
It's out of the frying pan
Into the fire

(Made it through somehow)
And we made it through somehow
For the bad and good
She always knew we would
And she still believes

In love in the morning
Love when you need it
If your soul gets hungry
You've got to feed it

She's a war surplus treasure
Her peace is her pleasure
In spite of all this madness
Life goes on
