lyrics

So what’ll it be this drought, this famine?
Women would cross themselves and not examine:
Man created God and God created man
A man, a plan, a canal

Will we run laughing to hug each other on Sunday,
On that free green stretch we saw together?
Will you make love to me and will you only see
my face when it hurts and it rains?

The NSC sees you and me and they all must agree
that to be young and so trapped is too bad

What now of our lives? you say
as you clutch me close and swear the whole thing off anyway
and Let’s play our parts better than they
and Let’s close our eyes and let’s hope it away,
close our eyes and wish it away

So what now that we must face that we’re wrong,
our unknown neighbors shrieking high overhead
As we ducked in the ditch you kissed me so hard
Now why, now why was that?

The men in the trees still will kill you and me
for even acting or thinking this way

What now of our lives? you say
as you clutch me close and swear the whole thing off anyway
and Let’s play our parts better than they
and Let’s close our eyes and let’s hope it away,
close our eyes and wish it away

Dead on the field, you were right
Like bananas gone black in the sun you were right
but it was said that you were not right

What now of our lives? you say
as you clutch me close and swear the whole thing off anyway
and Let’s play our parts better than they
and Let’s close our eyes and let’s hope it away,
close our eyes and wish it away
