This one is for you
|
and it goes on and on and on
|
when nothing seems to do
|
for when the doubtless and the wrong
|
ask; 'can I help you?'
|
in that way that says, 'I can't'
|
or claim we're all the same
|
just inconsistent
|
or pretend all understanding
|
turned out to be pretense
|
then pretend the pretense of understanding
|
How long does it take depends
|
|
You can cast your doubts
|
Turn em inside-out
|
Hang em upside-down
|
Til their art falls out-the short answer's; forty-eight hours
|
Let your heart all out-the short answer's; forty-eight hours
|
Til your art falls out-the short answer's; forty-eight hours
|
Let your heart all out
|
Summon up your power
|
|
If you need a good connection for drugs
|
Or a strong tolerance for alcohol
|
Too little religious education
|
Some pain threshold
|
If from the outside
|
There's no demand for what you do
|
And inside there's an army waiting
|
For their marching orders for you
|
Come sit on my swing-seat
|
Come sit on my porch
|
After Ten at night, smoke your cigarettes
|
if you like, of course
|
|
You can cast your doubts
|
Turn em inside-out
|
Hang em upside-down
|
Til their art falls out- the short answer's; forty-eight hours
|
Let your heart all out- the short answer's; forty-eight hours
|
Til their art falls out- the short answer's; forty-eight hours
|
Let your heart all out
|
Summon up all your power
|
|
And it goes on and on and on
|
|
If we ever get home
|
let's don't compare
|
let's relinquish all our holidays
|
and Drive-In Premieres
|
|
If we ever get home
|
gonna have me three children
|
Apple, Zippo, and Metronome
|
that's what I'm gonna name them
|
|
and get celebrity skin
|
the illusion of tough
|
I'm gonna talk about nothing
|
til nothing's enough
|
|
if we ever get home
|
and the subject comes up
|
this War isn't for children
|
War is nothing's enough
|
|
O' in the clouds of blood at the end of JAWS
|
in the misted cars honking their applause
|
at the Drive-In Double Feature
|
at the heart of dark enough
|
O' it's JAWS and The Dark Canuck
|
should we stay for The Dark Canuck?
|
yea.Everyone, hands up!?
|
Who's for 'The Dark Canuck'?
|
|
I think we relinquished enough
|
and it's still dark enough
|
and it goes on and on and on
|
|
