The phone rings, it's early, it's seven o'clock He says sorry I woke you, but I just had to talk You know last night, remember when I tried to choke you? I didn't mean it, I was drunk, it was only a joke You should know that by now When the checkered flag comes down No one, no one, no one has won the race The next night he's over and over and under And after he's finished she lies there and wonders Just why does she need him and why does she stay here And then in the darkness she'll quietly say dear You've never really known that when the white flag is flown No one, no one, no one has won the war They're complicated people Leading complicated lives And he complicates their problems Telling complicated lies He tells her he's sorry, she tells him it's over He tells her he's sorry, she says over and over You've never really known that when the white flag is flown No one, no one, no one has won the war There goes a forest and there goes a bluebird There goes a partridge and there goes a Go Train There goes an angel and there goes a steeple There goes a cop car and there goes an eagle There goes a raven and there go the ribbons There goes a raven and there go the ribbons There goes a raven and there go The ribbons, the ribbons, the ribbons The ribbons of the flag Of the flag Of the flag Of the flag (of the flag) Of the flag (of the flag) Of the flag (of the flag) Of the flag
