Lyrics

Three dozen cycles, give or take a sum The sum of that experience - how to keep running O I know justice, it's a birthright if you're born right And I know how handsome is that trick of the light So don't be mistaken in thinking I'll do right Given the chance to do wrong again and again Summer romeos casing the park By the uniform urinals of love's rural province O don't you know time, with its petty vial of sands Inscrutable face and merciless hands? And don't you know love? It's a whirlwind of feathers Tickles you to your nethers and leaves a terrain of despair… And I know when grief goеs unchecked Therе's a kind of relief in the wreckage for the wrecked… Weren't you alone last time I saw you? How do you keep running from the world and the war? O I know young fathers who once were like soldiers AWOL in flung places Or without standing orders Alarming approaches to time and it's killing No victimless crime again and again Monday night, Goodies and The Doctor Now that bath time's over, time for pyjamas O I know self pity, it begins with nostalgia And you'll die of melancholy if the dolor don't get ya And I know a poem on a wall next to a picture Of a dick and a fanny, by a smear of regret And it sings of its own long demise, something about imperium And a new sun will rise And "O please don't go with those horrible guys, they only want one thing." O please don't go with those horrible guys, they only want one thing Again and again
