lyrics

Oh Norma lay
her head across her plate
and where were we
when the squalor of the trenches sealed her fate

once in a daze
it all felt squared away
stealing trinkets from the dead

Oh Norma rays
of hope are commonplace
you’re looking more
like Edith Scob in "eyes without a face"
once in a maze
the world was laid to waste
losing sleep wasting breath

somewhere some ocean far away
a ragged old man in a submarine waits
somehow someone’s gonna pay,
the senator bloviates

selling tickets for the grave
over my head
behave
