lyrics

The dandelions and my bated breath
Tired face and faithful loneliness
On endless sentry guarding your address
Both cure and cause of my unrest...

Lay low, I may survive
But every lover risks his life while singing, singing
“If I go down I'm gonna go down swinging!”

Enemies bear gifts to catch your eyes
Their arrows aimed, they're tipped with hollow lies
Erase their footsteps with their alibis
A clever story or a good disguise...

Look out, they're at your door!
I'll take them on and beg for more while singing, singing
“If I go down, I'm gonna go down swinging!”

Front line mantras ringing "On the move!
Join the ranks or embrace solitude!"
A woman's love is worth the chance to prove
Twelve labors empty, give me thirty-two...

When at war, I can't complain
Lovers are soldiers, "God bless the campaign!" I'm singing, singing
And if I go down, I'm gonna go down swinging!
