Let's Talk About the Weather

We changed the world in a cellar wine bar

Scattered rearranged the stars

Two empty hearts on an ocean liner

Two empty bottles win a dreamer's battle

Still haven't reached the age of reason

We didn't know we could get hung for treason

We knew the charges but never the crime

The charges hummed them like a nursery rhyme

Rim song, lullaby song

Mistake, there must be some mistake

This emptiness is more than I can take

The laughter pierced through us and it went on forever

'Cause all they seemed to do was talk about the weather

We changed it all though they never knew it

We tore it down and made it better

We fell in love though they never knew it

And on a Sabbath day we lay together

Still haven't reached the age of reason

Hey, didn't you know you could get hung for treason

We knew the charges but never the crime

The charges hummed us like a nursery rhyme

Rim song, lullaby song

Mistake, there must be some mistake

Fear dives hard and pride you cannot shake

We tore it down and made it better

But somehow we couldn't change the weather

Rim song, lullaby song

Mistake, there must be some mistake

This emptiness is more than I can take

We tore it down and made it better

But somehow we couldn't change the weather

Oh, I'm a 20th century dreamer and I got no sense of place or time

I keep returning to the scene of the crime

Hey, you got the magic but you ain't got the style

Put on your salmon coat, tonight we're on trial

I still haven't reached the age of reason

Maybe our kind of love was out of season

I couldn't bear to see a grown man cry

The charges hummed me like a nursery rhyme

Rim song, lullaby song

Mistake, there must be some mistake

Hearts just crack, they never really break

Sometimes it's better than never but it won't be the same

So let's talk about the weather

Oh oh, let's talk about the weather

Oh oh, let's talk about the weather
