Over Now

(coverdale/page)



You said you'd give me love,

Instead you caused me pain

You made me curse an' slam the door,

An' hang my head in shame

But, it's over now, it's over now



You talked to me of virtue,

An' sang a song so sweet

But, all i know is i could smell the perfume of deceit

An' it's over now, it's over now



You told me of your innocence,

An' i believed it all

But, your best friend is your vanity,

An' the mirror on the wall

It's over now...



I turned away from what i heard,

An' everything i saw

But, now i see the light of day,

I release the dog of war



So whatcha gonna do when the truth pays you a call,

How you gonna feel, when you finally lose it all,

How you gonna look, standing up against the wall,

Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna say, when you feel the hammer fall,

I'm gonna see you crawl



You took your pills an' washed them down,

An' then you talked for hours

I tried to build a garden,

But, you trampled all the flowers

An' it's over now



Wanting this, needing that,

Always after more

Now that it's all over,

I release the dog of war,

I release the dog of war



So whatcha gonna do when the truth pays you a call,

How you gonna look, standing up against the wall,

Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna say,

When you feel the hammer fall



Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna say, standing up against the wall,

So whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna say, mamma, when you feel the hammer fall,

So whatcha gonna do?
