lyrics

pushing through the market square
so many mothers sighing
news had just come over
we had five years left to cry in
news guys 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
favorite melodies, I saw boys
toys electric irons and TV
my brain hurt like a warehouse
it had no room to spare
I had to push so many things
to fit everything in there
and all the fat skinny people
and all the short tall people
and all the nobody people
and all the somebody people
never thought I'd need
so many people
a girl my age went off her head
hit some tiny children
if the black hadn't have pulled her off
I think she would've killed them
a soldier with a broken arm
fixed his stare to the wheel of a Cadillac
a cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
and a queer threw up at the sight of that
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 this song
it was cold and it rained and I felt like an actor
so I thought of ma and how I need 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
five years, my brain hurts a lot
five years, that's all we got
