You are not supposed to love her
You are not supposed to know her
But each time you pass her on your way
You beg for her to dance further from you
Ooooh! Rockets are rockin'
Machine guns are rollin'
But don't you recognise the war
When you hear her sing?
So far, I told you, you're not a lover
Don't you recognise the signs?
When you cannot sleep at night
Go dance with her
Down to the wire
Then one day she comes and grabs you
Shows you dreams of peace and gold
But will you struggle or will you just follow?
Realise that it's up to you
Ooooh! Bullets are swingin'
Explosions are twistin'
But don't you recognise the war
When you hear her sing?
So far, I told you, you're not a lover
Don't you recognise the signs?
When you cannot sleep at night
Go dance with her
Down to the wire
