What We Do Is Secret movie - Five Years lyrics

rate me

Pushing thru the market square, so many mothers sighing<br>

News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in<br>

News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying<br>

Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying<br>

I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies<br>

I saw boys, toys electric irons and t.v.s<br>

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

I had to cram so many things to store everything in there<br>

And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people<br>

And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people<br>

I never thought Id need so many people<br>

<br>

A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children<br>

If the black hadnt a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them<br>

A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a cadillac<br>

A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw up at the sight of that<br>

<br>

I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long<br>

Smiling and waving and looking so fine, dont think<br>

You knew you were in this song<br>

And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor<br>

And I thought of ma and I wanted to get back there<br>

Your face, your race, the way that you talk<br>

I kiss you, youre beautiful, I want you to walk<br>

<br>

Weve got five years, stuck on my eyes<br>

Five years, what a surprise<br>

Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot<br>

Five years, thats all weve got<br>

Weve got five years, what a surprise<br>

Five years, stuck on my eyes<br>

Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot<br>

Five years, thats all weve got<br>

Weve got five years, stuck on my eyes<br>

Five years, what a surprise<br>

Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot<br>

Five years, thats all weve got<br>

Weve got five years, what a surprise<br>

Weve got five years, stuck on my eyes<br>

Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot<br>

Five years, thats all weve got<br>

Five years<br>

Five years<br>

Five years<br>

Five years<br>

<br>
