Forever You & I

You took me out of the city
My hands cracked blue, feeling gritty
And even this long haired hippie couldn't lie
He cried, "I'm not on my own"

Late night, get me into trouble
Breaking in to skinny-dip at the Hair Pool
And even this long haired hippie couldn't lie
He cried, "What am I to do? Am I the fool?"
Put my head down, politics aside
We're so taboo
But what is love?
What is love?
It's love that I wanted with you

But I'm never one to say it's meant to be
I don't believe in fate, anyway

Even when we're dead, you're still mine
A company man they said, all the time
This world's a powder keg and everybody's gonna burn alive
Forever you and I

Small town try to keep a secret
Soon enough everybody's gonna hear it
"Lies!" they'll cry, one side
Is it enough to just survive?
I don't know
But I'll work my fingers to the bone to make it alright
It's do-or-die
It's you and I
A gambler losing his high
But I'm never one to pray
And as for God
I hope they'll feel the same, by and by

Even when we're dead, you're still mine
A company man they said, all the time
This world's a powder keg and everybody's gonna burn alive
Forever you and I

You took me out of the city
My hands cracked blue, feeling gritty
And even this long haired hippie couldn't lie
He cried, "I'm not on my own"
