the long war shuffle - elbow

The times they are a-changing back

And, oh, the heat is rising

I heard a million knuckles crack

Is it so surprising?

I’m so sick of waiting

And I know you feel the same

I’m not getting any younger

And I know you feel the same

So everyone dance as if you didn’t care

And everyone move, pretend it isn’t there

Take a deep breath on leaving the floor

And lock all the doors

It’s going to be a long, long war

I’m so sick of waiting

And I know you feel the same

I’m not getting any younger

But the soldiers are

So everyone dance as if you didn’t care

And everyone move, pretend it isn’t there

Take a deep breath on leaving the floor

And lock all the doors

It’s going to be a long, long war

Long war, long war, long war

Again, again, again, again
