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 wasn't lying I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TVs My brain hurt like a warehouse, had no room to spare I had to cram so many things to store everything in there All the fat, skinny people And all the tall and 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 And if the black guy hadn't have pulled her off I swear 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 While the queen threw up at the sight of that I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlor Drinking milkshakes cold and long Smiling and waving and looking so fine I 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 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 walk Five years, five years Five years, five years That's all we've got We'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 got We've got five years, what a surprise Five years, stuck on my eyes Five years, my brain hurts a lot Five years, that's all we've got We've got five years, stuck on eyes Five years, what a surprise Five years Five years (what a surprise) Five years Five years Five years Five years
