Long Dark Sumer

Bernadine can't you understand
I got a beard like The Beta Band
Oh no
I'm in this for the long run man
I got no strings and I leave no tracks
Yeah
My name is numbers I can rearrange
Whenever someone's looking at me strange
Oh no
My escape is a keyboard away
My modem can't be traced it's in my brain
Oh yeah
But you still won't give me the time of day
And they said it's gonna be
A long dark winter
Oh this could be the time
You and I will shine
And they said it's gonna be
A long dark winter
Oh this could be the life
That we always knew was inside
Bernadine you were once for real
Now your strung out on revolution pills
Oh no
Invoking Chomsky from your waterbed
Like some uh Nancy Sinatra terrorist
Yeah
My Che Guevara shirt is torn and beat
Yet your Molotov makeup is always neat
Uh huh
You said your down with Panther chemistry
Shaking your flag like Stevie Nicks on speed
But I caught you
Checking your reflection
Down on Telegraph Street
And they said it's gonna be
A long dark winter
Your scene was all just rhymes
Your band were all just mimes
And they said it's gonna be
A long dark winter
Oh this could be the life
That we always knew was inside
Now I'm alone again
Cuz no one's real in this game
Am I the only freak who's found the key
Wait a minute who's that bird with the laugh
Oh that's just Mountain Girl man
She don't care
She don't care
She got stares
She got hairs
She don't care
And they said it's gonna be
A long dark winter
Oh this could be the time
You and I will shine
And they said it's gonna be
A long dark winter
Oh this could be the life
That we always knew
Was inside
