pushing thru' the market square

so many mother sighing

News had just come over

We had five years left ti cry in

News guy wept and told us

earth eas 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 irons and T.V's

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

I had to cram so many things to store ev'ry thing in there

And all the fat skinny people

And all the tall short people

And all the nobody people

And all the somebody people

I never thought i'd need so many people

A girl my age went off her head

Hit some tiny children

If the black had not puled her off

I think she would have killed them

A soldier with a broken arm

Fixed his state to the wheels of a Cadilac

A cop Knelt and kissed the feet of a priest

And a queer threw up at at the sight of that

I think i saw you in an ice cream parlour

Drinking milkshakes cold and long

smiling and waving and looking so fine

Don't think you knew you were in this song

And it was cold, and it rained, so i felt like an actor

And i thoought of Ma, and i wanted to get back there

Your face, Your race, the way that you talk

I kiss you, you're beautifull, I want you to walk. we got

five years stuck on my eyes

five years what a surprise we got

five years my brain hurts a lot

five years that's all we got we've got
