The Wallflowers - Days Of Wonder Lyrics

Cherry picking through the stars 
And falling cannonballs 
Waiting for the break of dawn 
To start its morning crawl 
Polluted rays of filtered light 
Tropical and warm 
Making shadows through 
The snow resin covered skulls 

Happy birthday to the war 

Standing by the wall 
A rainbow made of stars 
Under seven different shades of gray 
Spreading out across the arc 
Days of wonder spent 
Out there killing time 
Now this may not leave a mark on me 
But I sure as hell was there 

Caravanning on the moonlit 
Locust covered trail 
We came out like a stream of bats 
Exploding from the well 
Slipping through the whirpools 
Of trees and floating cars 
Behind a winter coated mule 
Down record breaking falls 

Into oblivion's open jaws 

Standing by the wall 
A rainbow made of stars 
Under seven different shades of gray 
Spreading out across the arc 
Days of wonder spent 
Out there killing time 
Now this may not leave a mark on me 
But I sure as hell was there 

Happy Birthday to the war 

Days of wonder spent 
By a rainbow made of stars 
Under seven different shades of gray 
Spreading out across the arc 
Standing by the wall 
Out there killing time 
Now this may not leave a mark on me 
But I sure as hell was there 

Educated under God 
To walk a neutral line 
Give me either poverty 
Nor riches in my time 
Take my body and my mind 
My heart is far behind 
With one dozen poems in my ears 
Ricocheting wild
