Moxy Fruvous Bittersweet lyrics

[** Murray on lead, w/ others doing supporting harmonies]
Now all of the planes have landed
And the soldiers are in their beds
Smoke rises from their clothing
And sweet dreams through their heads

Truth faced leaves a strange taste
When joy and sadness meet
A country rain on a city street
This life is bittersweet

The boy with the bloated belly
Hears today's trucks arrive
He puts down his baby sister
And makes his way outside

Truth faced leaves a strange taste
When joy and sadness meet
A country rain on a city street
This life is bittersweet

Everyone's a novelist

And everyone can sing
But no one talks when the TV's on...

[Guitar Solo:]

[Rest:]
Sweet dreams fill their heads...

[Murray:]
The lightning flashed, and the thunder rolled
And dark clouds filled the sky
A country rain on a city street
This life is bittersweet
