Cookie crumbs and ashes on the floor
Old crumbling constellations marching to war
Take my girl and take my stature
I'm the only wartime bachelor now left in our hometown

You're attacked by grown-up infantry
I'm attacked by packs of housewives, it's them or me
Can't be wounded, can't be captured
Im the only wartime bachelor now lLeft in our hometown

Forgotten kettle boiled black and blue
Forgotten lungs blackened by my new brand of abuse
Take my girl and take my stature
I'm the only wartime bachelor now left in our hometown

Sign me, seal me, send me
I remain yours truly, yours truly

Cookie crumbs and ashes on the floor
Old crumbling constellations marching to war
Time has slowed but I age faster
I'm the only wartime bachelor now left in our hometown
Darling, I'm underfed, the cats are sick, and the plants are dead
