Текст песни Five Years - Birkins

Pushing through the market square
So many mothers eyeing
News had just come over
We had five years left to crying
News guy wept and told us
Earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet
Then I knew he was not lying

I had telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TVs
My brain hurt like a warehouse, I had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything 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 needed so many people

Girl in my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the blood had pooled her off
I think she would have killed them

Soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his stare to the wheel of a Cadillac
Cop knelt and kissed the beautiful breast
Of a queer old freak on the side of that

I think 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

And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of ma and I wanted to get back to
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
And 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

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
Five years
Five years
Five years

Five years
