Anybody's War Lyrics - Icehouse

Her arms around a flag of blue 

His colors flying black and white 

She hears the voice between the lines 

He hears the warning, he turns his black 

Anybody's war who is there to catch the pieces 

Anybody's war faces we don't recognize 

She catches every last regret 

She holds it gently like a dying star 

He stands like a small boy in the street 

Throwing rocks and stones into the crowd 

Anybody's war who is there to catch the pieces 

Anybody's war faces we don't recognize 

Anybody's war turning round and round in circles 

Anybody's war people just like you and I 

Just a little too afraid to take the blame that they can't hide 

Like a frightened child who is running scared 

And they know each other well 

Though the innocence long gone 

Is the only thing they ever shared 

She'll promise that she'll try again 

He'll promise that he'll settle down 

And they will call themselves the best of friends 

But still they're strangers, just like anyone
