about

A song about a girl.

lyrics

Well I would like to be
The only American in the Italian army
Just to see if I would know
When I had done my part
And I would like to be there
When the Austrians came down from the mountain
I'd like to be delivering
Chocolate on a bicycle

And on that morbid retreat
When I see
Death in the officer's eyes
I'd like to be
Floating
Down a river to a railcar
Where I could hide
On my way
To make my desperate escape
Yes I will row across this lake
Just don't take my Catherine away

Just don't take, just don't take
My Catherine away
Just don't take, just don't take
My Catherine away

Men of steel
Dripping into
Glasses of orange juice
The war is over
But men of feeling
Are dripping from the ceiling

I want to be sinking
Like a flashlight in the deep blue
I want to be
Dripping from the ceiling too

I want to be sinking
Like a flashlight in the deep blue sea
Don't want to be
The octopus making the discovery
