[00:17.39]Pushing thru the market square  so many mothers sighing
[00:27.43]News had just come over  we had five years left to cry in
[00:36.45]News guy wept and told us  earth was really dying
[00:45.81]Cried so much his face was wet  then I knew he was not lying
[00:53.99]I heard telephones  opera house  favourite melodies
[00:58.98]I saw boys  toys electric irons and T V 's
[01:04.04]My brain hurt like a warehouse  it had no room to spare
[01:08.18]I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
[01:12.37]And all the fat-skinny people  and all the tall-short people
[01:20.93]And all the nobody people  and all the somebody people
[01:29.02]I never thought I'd need so many people
[01:37.89]A girl my age went off her head  hit some tiny children
[01:46.37]If the black hadn't a-pulled her off  I think she would have killed them
[01:55.85]A soldier with a broken arm  fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
[02:05.04]A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest  and a queer threw up at the sight of that
[02:12.00]
[02:14.30]I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour  drinking milk shakes cold and long
[02:20.58]
[02:22.95]Smiling and waving and looking so fine  don't think
[02:28.63]You knew you were in this song
[02:31.52]And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
[02:36.38]And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
[02:40.83]Your face  your race  the way that you talk
[02:45.52]I kiss you  you're beautiful  I want you to walk
[02:49.77]We've got five years  stuck on my eyes
[02:55.11]Five years  what a surprise
[02:59.19]We've got five years  my brain hurts a lot
[03:04.20]Five years  that's all we've got
[03:07.80]We've got five years  what a surprise
[03:12.87]Five years  stuck on my eyes
[03:17.24]We've got five years  my brain hurts a lot
[03:22.13]Five years  that's all we've got
[03:26.32]We've got five years  stuck on my eyes
