lyrics

JUNKYARD BABY


This land, raped and burnt
Gives birth only to scraps of steel
The seeds sown were napalm and bombs
And in the midst of all this horror
I find you, Eleonore of the junkyard

We fell in love when the world had ended
We stayed in love through the thick and thin
We stayed in love when all the light was gone
And when all is gone again, we'll still be in love
Because

You are my junkyard baby
Frame of steel, hair like barbed wire
You are my junkyard baby
Left to fade, built to last

We two, thick as thieves, we soldier on
Acid rains and tests of faith, we carry on
Wherever you go, I can call it home
Wherever you lay to rest, I'll take care of our nest
Because

You are my junkyard baby
Frame of steel, hair like barbed wire
You are my junkyard baby
Left to fade, built to last

This land, starting to bloom
Gives new life to those who wait
The seeds sown are starting to grow
And in the midst of all this beauty
I love you, Eleonore of the junkyard
