lyrics

I dreamed there was a civil war:
blood upon every city door,
people fighting for a vanishing world —
all except the beautiful ones.

They climbed up on the fire escapes
and watched the world go up in flames.
They saw how life disfigures us all.
They were the beautiful ones.

Are you waiting for a savior
who will save you from the end?
Well when your savior disappoints you, my love,
call me if you need a friend.

Maybe I didn't give you enough.
Maybe you needed a more jealous kind of love.
Maybe you remember some bitter times —
well I remember the beautiful ones:

Sitting on your rooftop's edge,
feeling the warm sun high overhead,
we saw how little time we really get
to be the beautiful ones.

Are you waiting for a savior
who will save you from the end?
Well when your savior disappoints you, my love,
call me if you need a friend.

Are you looking for forgiveness
on which you can depend?
Well when your savior disappoints you, my love,
call me if you need a friend.

Call me if you need a friend.
