Lyrics
I can see us in the future, baby
When the other folks have passed
Like that Kubrick film 2001
Were like embryos in glass
And everybody says watch out don't break
While they buy front seats at my life quake
Everybody bet us two to one
That our pressure points would come undone
We're gonna last, sweet-eyed baby
We're gonna last
We're gonna last, sweet-eyed darlin'
We're gonna last
The rumor mongers tripped off base
When they said you were wrong for me
The city girl with the subway life
The West Coast prodigy
And everybody said we'd last a week
While they dusted off their French antiques
Everybody bet us two to one
That our pressure points would come undone
We're gonna last, sweet-eyed baby
We're gonna last
We're gonna last, sweet-eyed darlin'
We're gonna last
We're gonna last, sweet-eyed baby
Till the ocean turns to fire
Last till complacency replaces our desire
We're gonna last, sweet-eyed baby
We're gonna last
We're gonna last, sweet-eyed darlin'
We're gonna last
Sometimes in dreams I have seen you
Beckoning to the ocean mist
Riding a wave of enchantment
Comin' to shore with our souls adrift
We're gonna last, sweet-eyed baby
We're gonna last
We're gonna last, sweet-eyed darlin'
We're gonna last
We're gonna last, sweet-eyed baby
Till the ocean turns to fire
Last till complacency replaces our desire
