Marianne – Flak Jacket Lyrics

Daybreak - and it's more than you can take
On the shores of a dried up ocean
Commotion
As you break through the enemy lines

Daybreak - and there's something you can't shake
You saw reflections in their eyes
Makes you realize
You can't break through the enemy lines

Raise your hand - indisposed
Soldiers stand - indisposed

Devil on your shoulder
And the monkey on your back
You should wear a flak jacket
Wear a flak jacket
Guess you never told her
That you might not make it back
You should wear a flak jacket
Wear a flak jacket tonight

Daybreak - and it's more than you can take
On the shores of a dried up ocean
Commotion
As you break through the enemy lines

Daybreak - and there's no way you can make it
The walls are crumbling down
Without a sound
You fall on the enemy lines

Raise your hand - indisposed
Soldiers stand - indisposed

Devil on your shoulder
And the monkey on your back
You should wear a flak jacket
Wear a flak jacket
Guess you never told her
That you might not make it back
You should wear a flak jacket
Wear a flak jacket tonight

And when it all was over
You were left without a name
All you got was laughter
And a life that was
...just a game

Devil on your shoulder
And the monkey on your back
You should wear a flak jacket
Wear a flak jacket
Guess you never told her
That you might not make it back
You should wear a flak jacket
Wear a flak jacket tonight
