lyrics

in the night the world comes to a dead end here
no rooftop piano
no kissing on the pier
you get a short sharp shock with the morning rise
the 'buttery bar' and your weary eyes
some folks go up the road
sitting in the place that looks like prison
all the felicity that flowed you think our
exodus bread had risen.
she doesn't venture outside the bedroom books
she oughta check on the locks
so she doesn't get the looks
they're all pacing around the library floor
eyes glazed on the window
one foot creeping out the door
some folks take on the load
sitting in the place they think is heaven
but there is so long to go
god are we ever gonna get that leaven
and it goes so fast
for you too see
but it leaves the stain
of servility
but to you and me that comes
so naturally
to you and me that comes
so naturally.
we've got one fucked up daughter
one fucked up son
and another little girl
thinks she's the only one to be
feeling like a kept dog without a lead
i say give up the drink babe
give up the weed
sort out the stuff
busy your mind with the future
because a little bit of rough
needn't stop you doing what suits ya
and it goes so fast
for you to see....

and the hundred foot tower turns its back to us all
and they start
and they stammer
and they feel so small
and the ready little boys
with their mortar boards
are filing out the chapel to the
plagal chords:
amen
amen
what a fitting way to end a sunday
all the ways in which we wend
pretend
and suddenly it's monday

and it goes so fast
for you to see...
