| [00:32.959] |
The indecencies of city streets |
| [00:36.181] |
The cleaners' sweeping trucks from nine to noon |
| [00:46.129] |
And the factories make clouds |
| [00:48.557] |
To keep the sun from being jealous like the moon |
| [00:59.024] |
While the husband holds his house |
| [01:01.512] |
He hates his children for being green when he is gray |
| [01:11.970] |
And his wife, she likes to talk on telephones |
| [01:15.629] |
But just to people far away |
| [01:25.129] |
Well, the big surprise was televised |
| [01:28.213] |
On a crowded couch their eyes grew wide and wet |
| [01:32.653] |
Oh, was it really such a sad event? |
| [01:38.055] |
You could capture this with camera clips, but it don't exist |
| [01:43.043] |
Just light on negatives |
| [01:45.597] |
Another number on the birthday cake |
| [01:51.188] |
You should act your age |
| [02:20.460] |
We were hungry for a holiday |
| [02:23.626] |
Won't cooperate with the calendar we found |
| [02:33.343] |
We just scattered snow-like styrofoam |
| [02:36.659] |
And sang our christmas carols all through town |
| [02:46.749] |
And the voices soared, the people joined |
| [02:49.852] |
With silver coins they filled our cupping hands |
| [02:59.669] |
And we all agreed, the charity was much in need |
| [03:04.686] |
Yes, a nobel cause at that |
| [03:12.575] |
And I met a man, a mannequin |
| [03:15.665] |
Who stood so still I knew he was afraid |
| [03:25.037] |
And he preferred a place of permanance |
| [03:28.740] |
To the awful guessing game of choice and change |
| [03:38.480] |
Well, the big surprise was telelvised |
| [03:41.809] |
On a crowded couch our eyes grew wide and wet |
| [03:45.842] |
Oh yes, it's really such a sad event |
| [03:51.649] |
You can't capture this with camera clips |
| [03:54.861] |
No, it don't exist |
| [03:56.628] |
Just light on negatives |
| [03:59.130] |
Another candle on a birthday cake |
| [04:04.699] |
And a wish you make |
| [04:08.048] |
Well, if the costume fits, keep wearing it |
| [04:10.893] |
But no Halloween could quite account for this |
| [04:15.285] |
I guess you're getting into character |
| [04:20.886] |
Or just be yourself, if that would help |
| [04:23.868] |
Or sink completely into someone else |
| [04:28.364] |
You dreamt of mountains but sometimes a hole |
| [04:34.085] |
Is more comfortable |
