Nighttime's the right time to pull all the dimes from your pocket
|
Nighttime's the right time to climb on the rocket
|
Nighttime's the right time to pull your shoulder out of its socket
|
Nighttime's the right time to learn a new language
|
|
Cosmonauts flying, cosmonauts dying
|
You picked a fine time to tell me it was time to find me a new wife
|
You picked a fine way to tell me that today would be the last day
|
When is the first day you'll repay the money that you owe me?
|
A sisterly severance, a cutting of cookies, adios fraternos
|
|
When will she run to me?
|
When will she come to me?
|
O buenos dias
|
O buenas noches
|
|
No mercy you have shown me
|
How could a woman with so much to live for have so many children?
|
When time came to call names she bolted and left me an unlabelled burden
|
I'm bound to my time like cukes to a new brine, or brawn to an old one
|
Besides I have no time to explain how I have been feeling
|
|
Cosmonauts flying, cosmonauts dying
|
Astronauts starving, astronauts leaving
|
No more hospitality, no more hospitals at all
|
When was the first time you realized the next time would be the last time?
|
