You've had a fantastic time
Two, three more for you to say goodnight with
Pushing through market square
So many mothers sighing (sighing)
News had just come over
We had five years left to sighing (sighing)
News guy wept when he told us
Earth was really dying (dying)
Cried so much that his face was wet
Then I knew he was not lying (lying)
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I saw toys, boys, electric irons and TVs
Brain hurt like a warehouse, no room to spare
Had to cram so many things to store everything in there
All the fat, skinny people
All the tall, short people
All the somebody people
All the nobody people
I never thought I'd need so many people
A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the Black hadn't have pulled her off
Well, I think she would have killed them
Soldier with a broken arm
Fixed the stair to the wheels of a Cadillac
Cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at the sight of that
And I think I saw you in an ice cream parlor
Drinking milkshakes, cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
Don't think you knew you were in this song
It was cold, and it rained, so I felt like an actor
And the thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
Five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, but that's all we've got
Five years
Five years
Five years
Five years
