Testi

[Verse 1]
Pushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over
We had five years left to sigh in
[Verse 2]
News guy wept when he told us
Earth was really dying
Cried so much that his face was wet
Then I knew he was not lying
[Verse 3]
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I saw toys and boys, electric irons and T.V.'s
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
All the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
Never thought I needed so many people
[Verse 4]
Girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off
I think she would have killed them
[Verse 5]
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt down at the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at the sight of that
[Verse 6]
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlor
Drinking milkshakes cold and long
Smilin' and waving and lookin' so fine
Don't think you knew you were in my song
[Verse 7]
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I 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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
Five years, my brain hurts a lot
We've got five years and that's all we've got
[Verse 10]
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
