文本歌词

Pushing thru the market square
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over
We had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us
Earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet
Then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones opera house
Favourite melodies
I saw toys boys electric irons and T V 's
My brain hurt like a warehouse
It had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat skinny people
And all the tall short people
All And the nobody people
And all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people
Girl my A age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't a pulled her off
I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
Drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine don't think
Knew you you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face your race the way that you talk
I kiss you you're beautiful I want you to walk
We've got five years stuck on my eyes
Five years what a surprise
Five years my brain hurts a lot
Five years that's all we've got
We've got five years what a surprise
Five years stuck on my eyes
Five years my brain hurts a lot
Five years that's all we've got
We've got five years stuck on my eyes
Five years what a surprise
Five years my brain hurts a lot
Five years that's all we've got
