[00:11.26]Pushing through the market square
[00:14.53]So many mothers sighing
[00:19.07]News had just come over
[00:24.11]We have five years left to sigh in
[00:29.66]News guy wept when he told us
[00:33.39]Earth was really dying
[00:38.55]Cried so much that his face was wet
[00:42.37]Then I knew he was not lying
[00:46.61]I heard telephones, opera house
[00:49.68]favourite melodies
[00:51.66]I saw toys, boys,
[00:53.92]electric irons and TVs
[00:56.64]Brain hurt like a warehouse
[00:58.50]Had no room to spare
[01:00.57]Had to cram so many things to store
[01:03.43]Everything in there
[01:04.64]Fat-skinny people
[01:08.05]Tall-short people
[01:12.97]Somebody people
[01:17.44]Nobody people
[01:21.00]I never thought I'd need so many people
[01:25.50]
[01:28.54]A girl my age went off her head
[01:32.86]Hit some tiny children
[01:37.60]If the black hadn't a-pulled her off,
[01:42.02]Well, I think she would have killed them
[01:46.50]A soldier with a broken arm
[01:49.85]Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
[01:55.39]A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
[01:59.87]And a queer threw up at the sight of that
[02:04.15]And I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour
[02:09.63]Drinking milk shakes cold and long
[02:13.52]Smiling and waving and looking so fine
[02:17.98]Don't think you knew you were in this song
[02:22.10]And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
[02:26.94]And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
[02:31.52]Your face, your race,
[02:33.53]the way that you talk
[02:35.74]I kiss you, you're beautiful
[02:38.21]I want you to walk
[02:39.90]We've got five years
[02:42.52]Stuck on my eyes
[02:44.52]Five years
[02:47.19]What a surprise
[02:49.00]Five years
[02:51.57]My brain hurts a lot
[02:53.88]Five years
[02:55.94]That's all we've got
[02:57.80]We've got five years
[03:00.83]Stuck on my eyes
[03:02.48]Five years
[03:05.27]What a surprise
[03:06.65]We've got five years
[03:09.25]My brain hurts a lot
[03:11.83]Five years
[03:13.79]God, that's all we've got
[03:15.64]We've got five years
[03:18.61]Stuck on my eyes
[03:20.52]Five years
[03:22.67]What a surprise
[03:24.69]Five years
[03:27.07]My brain hurts a lot
[03:29.12]Five years
[03:31.80]That's all we've got
