about

words and music by Jonathan Rundman and Walter Salas-Humara

lyrics

we got the hurricane warning
we were right in the path
a couple billion survivors
living here in the aftermath
when the sun shone down this morning
nothing where it was before
no more roads, nowhere to go
water levels higher than my front porch door

we've been watching the horizon
and the clouds up above
everybody's waiting for the helicopters of love

we got sent to the front lines
we knew our fate was sealed
the whole day was a bloodbath
now we're left standing in the battlefield
we got no more ammunition
no more tanks or trucks
everybody's crying, everybody's dying
fresh out of hope and long out of luck

i've seen the bulldozers of self-o​bsession
and the limousines of war
i've seen the locomotives of nostalgia
but that train don't run no more
i'll keep waiting for the helicopters
and climb up through the fuselage floor

we've been watching the horizon
and the clouds up above
everybody's waiting for the helicopters of love
we've been shooting off the flare guns
'cause we're all dreaming of
that fine day when everybody's flying in the helicopters of love
