Pushin' through the market square
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over,
we had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us,
Earth was really dying
Cried so much, his face was wet,
then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house,
favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TVs
My brain hurt like a warehouse,
it had no room to spare
I had to ground so many things to start,
everything in there
And all the fat -skinned people
And all the tall, short people
And all the nobody people
And all the somebody people
Never thought I'd need so many people
Girl, my itch went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't of pulled her up
I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his stand to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop now kissed the feet of a priest
And a critter 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 it rained
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 got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We got five years, my head hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we got
We got five years, stuck on miles
Five years, what a surprise
We got five years, my head hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we got
We got five years
Five years
Five years
Five years
Five years
Five years
Five years
Five years
That's all we've got, we've
got five years
Thank
