[offset:0]
[00:17.39] Pushing thru the market square so many mothers sighing
[00:27.43] News had just come over we had five years left to cry in
[00:36.45] News guy wept and told us earth was really dying
[00:45.81] Cried so much his face was wet then I knew he was not lying
[00:53.99] I heard telephones opera house favourite melodies
[00:58.98] I saw boys toys electric irons and T V 's
[01:04.04] My brain hurt like a warehouse it had no room to spare
[01:08.18] I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
[01:12.37] And all the fat-skinny people and all the tall-short people
[01:20.93] And all the nobody people and all the somebody people
[01:29.02] I never thought I'd need so many people
[01:37.89] A girl my age went off her head hit some tiny children
[01:46.37] If the black hadn't a-pulled her off I think she would have killed them
[01:55.85] A soldier with a broken arm fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
[02:05.04] A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest and a queer threw up at the sight of that
[02:12.00]
[02:14.30] I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour drinking milk shakes cold and long
[02:20.58]
[02:22.95] Smiling and waving and looking so fine don't think
[02:28.63] You knew you were in this song
[02:31.52] And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
[02:36.38] And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
[02:40.83] Your face your race the way that you talk
[02:45.52] I kiss you you're beautiful I want you to walk
[02:49.77] We've got five years stuck on my eyes
[02:55.11] Five years what a surprise
[02:59.19] We've got five years my brain hurts a lot
[03:04.20] Five years that's all we've got
[03:07.80] We've got five years what a surprise
[03:12.87] Five years stuck on my eyes
[03:17.24] We've got five years my brain hurts a lot
[03:22.13] Five years that's all we've got
[03:26.32] We've got five years stuck on my eyes
[03:30.94] Five years what a surprise
[03:35.25] We've got five years my brain hurts a lot
[03:40.07] Five years that's all we've got
[03:44.19] We've got five years what a surprise
[03:48.74] We've got five years stuck on my eyes
[03:53.25] We've got five years my brain hurts a lot
[03:57.82] Five years that's all we've got
[04:02.25] Five years
[04:04.82]
[04:06.94] Five years
[04:11.63] Five years
[04:15.88] Five years
