Letra de Five Years
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 she was really dying

Cried so much his face was wet

Well, I knew he wasn't lying



I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies

I saw boys and toys, electric irons, TVs

My brain felt like a warehouse it 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

Christ, I never thought I'd need so many people



Girl my age went off her head

She hit some tiny children

And if the black hadn't pulled her off

Then I think I know she would have killed them



I saw a soldier with a broken arm

Staring to the wheels of a Cadillac

A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest

And a queer well he threw up at the sight of that



I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlor

Drinking milk shakes 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 ace, the way that you talk

Well, 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

We got five years, that's all we've got



Five years, that's all we've got

Five years

Five years

Five years



Five years

Five years

Five years

Five years



Five years

Five years

Five years

Five years



Five years

Five years

Five years

Five years



Five years
