Hello

Down the line, over the waves
Two kids and a military
Turn their tongue, change their name
La love, born to marry
Crossed their hearts, crossing the earth
One year, then a baby's carried
Grows up young, screams at graves
Bang-bang and it's customary
Ordinary

Hang the war over the hearth
Five more in a house of many
Argentine Fabergé
La love, born unsteady
Kid hears ghosts singing his name
Likes guns and he's pistol-ready
That's his curse, that's my name
Hе sings up to the moon unchaining

I didn't know her when shе walked in
But I recognized her eyes
Her hair lifted as she stood still
Right there in the light
And she felt like a dream
I didn't know what to think
She looked like me
We stood mirrored 'til I leaned in
And then you know what she did
She shot at me like an earthbound bullet
And then she wrapped her hands
Around my neck and I felt love
Just ordinary love
Let me hold you in my arms
Oh, love, that old familiar drug

Bang-bang and it's customary
America stole my fate
La love and a baby carriage
Turned my tongue, changed my name
Bang-bang, born unsteady
Crossed my heart, crossed the earth
La love and a stone to carry
That's my curse, that's my name
Bang-bang and it's customary
Ordinary
