When I look up to the skies I see your eyes a funny kind of yellow I rush home to bed I soak my head I see your face underneath my pillow I wake next morning tired still yawning See your face come peaking through my window Pictures of matchstick men and you Mirages of matchstick men and you All I ever see is them and you
[guitar intro]
Windows echo your reflection When I look in their direction gone When will this haunting stop Your face it just wont leave me a-lone Pictures of matchstick men and you Mirages of matchstick men and you All I ever see is them and you You in the sky you with this guy you make men cry you lie You in the sky you with this guy you make men cry you lie
[guitar intro]
Pictures of matchstick men, Pictures of matchstick...
A vacation in a foreign land, Uncle Sam does the best he can You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
Now you remember what the draft man said, nothing to do all day but stay in bed You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
You'll be the hero of the neighbourhood, nobody knows that you've left for good You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
Smiling faces as you wait to land, but once you get there no-one gives a damn You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
Hand grenades flying over your head
Missiles flying over your head, if you want to survive get out of bed You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
Shots ring out in the dead of night, the sergeant calls 'Stand up and fight!' You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
You've got your orders better shoot on sight, your finger's on the trigger but it don't seem right You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
Night is falling and you just can't see, is this illusion or reality? You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army, in the army now You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
You spend my money You drink my best red wine You think its funny To see me all the time Sitting with my head hanging down Treating me just like a clown You spend my money But come on honey dont waste my time
When you get older Youll see what you have done You hung on my shoulder And loved me just for fun But some day when Im older too Im gonna come and make fool out of you You spend my money And honey You sure did waste my time
