The Long Answer Is No

Last night you came inside
Just to see and make sure if I was alright
But you found me
On the ground

Well don't expect to drink all night
To forget all about what's on your mind
'Cause it's bound to
It's bounce to keep you down
Oh, it'll keep you down

Every man with a normal brain
Will sooner or later go insane
Be a fool
For what he left behind

Every kid born into this world
Should have a turtle
Sometime in his life
That's a rule
Not to be denied
Oh, not to be denied

Oh, mama, won't you help me understand
Why the sun is up and still my mood is low
And I can hardly make a stand
Oh, papa, won't you bring me to the land
Where the rain don't stop when it's time to go
And say: the long answer is no
Ah

You're bound to get an idea
Once you decide to start thinking free
But it might
Also let you down
And one day a man will come
And explain to you what you knew all along
But it will
Also let you down
Oh, it'll keep you down
Oh

Oh, mama, won't you help me understand
Why the sun is up and still my mood is low
And I can hardly make a stand
Oh, papa, won't you bring me to the land
Where the rain don't stop when it's time to go
And say: the long answer is no

Oh, the water is rising
And I need time to think about
All we've been hiding
Now the rain don't stop when it's time to go
And say: the long answer is no
And the rain don't stop when it's time to go
And say: the long answer is no
Now the rain don't stop when it's time to go
