| Maybe Baby Maybe it's the conflict, maybe it's the strife Maybe it's time that you got yourself a life Maybe I'm the jailer, maybe you're my captive Maybe it's just instinct, maybe it's reactive Maybe it's the medication screwing with your mind Maybe it's the haunting from the past you left behind Maybe it's you, baby, maybe it's me Maybe it's the demons that you know you never see Maybe it's the critics and the condemnation Maybe it's your fear of confrontation Maybe your demons drive you down to the wire Maybe your passport's about to expire Maybe it's the ignorance, maybe it's the knowledge Maybe it's the lessons that you never learned in college Maybe it's the poverty that keeps you trapped Maybe it's the thread of guilt that finally snapped Maybe it's your heart that's telling you you're wrong Maybe it's the fallout from the wake up bomb Maybe it's the niggle of a conscience pricking Maybe it's the terror of the time bomb ticking Maybe it's the malice in the message we send Maybe it's the future, maybe baby it's the end |
| Atomic Lullabies The war that rages in some far-flung sky Not yours to fight, not yours to wonder why You couldn't change this bitter, twisted world The welcome mat for you is not unfurled You know the holocaust is your domain You know that life will never be the same A goodnight kiss dropped on your furrowed brow Will soothe away the hurt of here and now Lullabies on ether softly lilting While Armageddon's edifice to earth is tilting Entrust your hopes and fears to caverns deep And face the fire that fuels such restless sleep This maelstrom rages far across the land Atom bombs will fall from heaven's hand With utter disregard for our distaste Will lay these comfort blankets all to waste So keep tight hold of just one precious thing And bless your dreams with lullabies I sing When the winds of change have blown your ship aground Let these atomic lullabies lay you down |
