Five Years - 1999 Digital Remaster

Pushing thru the market square
So many mothers dying
You should just come over
We had five years left to cry in
Blue sky wept and told us
I was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet
Then I knew He was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house,
favorite melodies,
I saw boys, toys, electric arms and Tvs,
a grain herd like warehouse,
it had no room to spare,
I had to cram so many things to start,
everything in there,
and all the fat-skinny people
and all the tall-short people
and all the nobody people
all the somebody people
I never thought I'd meet so many people
Girl my age went off her head
hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't 've pulled her off
I think she would have killed them
So you're with the broken arm
As you stare thru the wheels of a cadillac
cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
and a queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice cream parlor
drinking milkshakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
Don't think you knew you were in the song
And it was cold and rain 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
We've got five years
stuck on my
five years
what a suprise
we've got five years
my brain hurts and I
five years
that's all we've got,
we've got five years
what a suprise
five years
stuck on my
we've got five years
my brain hurts a lot
five years
that's all we've got
now, five years
stuck on my eyes
five years
what a suprise
we've got five years
my brain hurts a lot
five years
thats all we've got
we've got five years
what a suprise
we've got five years
stuck on my eyes
we've got five years
my brain hurts a lot
five years
that's all we've got
Five years
Five years
