Boys Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Thought I was drowning in that bed
Couldn't get the moon out of my head
So I awoke before the break of day
And walked along the coast of Galway
Sitting at the boardwalk bar, drinking a whiskey
Feeling all the rage of a modern man
We used to feel our rage just like the sea
Now we get it on an installment plan

[Chorus]
All my love
To you and yours
And all the baby boys, they're dressing them in blue
Teaching them that life's a war

[Verse 2]
I guess I'm a long way from where I was
Drunk off my ass in some suburban town
I betrayed my friend, 19 and Darwinian
I'll never live that down But I fell into a good girl's good graces
And I poured my heart right into hers
She's more an Artemis in muddy laces
Than a Venus in furs

[Chorus]
All my love
To you and yours
And all the college boys, they're dressing up in suits
Thinking life's a war

[Bridge]
Spring is coming
Let me be like leeches
Renew
Fruitful

[Chorus]
All my love
To you and yours
And all the baby boys, they're dressing them in blue
Teaching them that life's a war
All my love
To you and yours
And all the college boys, they're dressing up in suits
Thinking life's a war
