Five Years

Pushing 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 lyingI heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies

I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TV's

My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare

I had to cram so many things to store everything in thereAnd all the fat, skinny people, and all the tall, short people

And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people

Never thought I'd need so many peopleA girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children

If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them

A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac

A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest

And the queer threw up at the sight of thatI think I saw you in an ice cream parlor

Drinking milk shakes cold and long

Smiling and waving and looking so fine

Don't think you knew you were in this songAnd 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 walkWe've got five years, stuck on my eyes

Five years, what a surprise

We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot

Five years, that's all we've gotWe've got five years, what a surprise

Five years, stuck on my eyes

We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot

Five years, that's all we've gotWe've got five years, stuck on my eyes

Five years, what a surprise

We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot

Five years, that's all we've gotWe've got five years, what a surprise

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 gotFive years

Five years

Five years

Five years
