Marie-Lynn Hammond - Down on the Station lyrics
planes on the runway jet fighters overhead planes flying through your dreams when you're lying asleep in your bed and the job means being ready for a war no one wants to fight eternal preparation for those sirens in the night down on the station so they play it out on war games the phone rings early dawn papa says the code word, grabs his gear and then he's gone gone gone and it's the biggest tease of all now imagine how it feels to spend your whole life cocked and ready but you never get to shoot for real down on the station and every year they move you if you're lucky every two or three so you learn to be real adaptable 'cause that's how a soldier should be you get good at playing new kid in school or new wife on the block you learn not to get too close you learn when not to talk down on the station Operation Nighthawk mama's pacing up and down the hall she says Go back to bed now girls nothing to worry about at all and for years of course you believe her until one night you know the score all it takes is a little bad timing a slight miscalculation a critical malfunction and someone's father don't come home no more down on the station and booze was cheap in the mess halls you can bet it was planned that way to keep you from thinking too much at night about what you did all day so papa stumbles home around midnight we listen upstairs in fear he stalks the house like a stranger mama's once again in tears oh god and now he's cursing and raging he thinks no one understands he feels trapped in this house full of women where are the sons he'd plan |
