Testo Five Years - Easy Star All-Stars

Testo della canzone Five Years (Easy Star All-Stars), tratta dall'album Ziggy Stardub

Pushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing
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 heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I saw boys and toys and electric irons and TVs
My brain hurt 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 and short people
And all the nobody people
And all the somebody people
I never thought I'd meet so many people
Hey
A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't pulled her off
I would think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed a stare to the wheel of a Cadillac
A cop knelt down and kissed the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at the side of the head
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 he knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained
So I felt like an actor
And I thought of mom
I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, and the way that you talk
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
Five years
That's all we got
Five years
What a surprise, hey
Five years
Stuck on my eyes
Five years
My brain hurts a lot
Five years
That's all we got
Five years
Five long years
Five years
Said five long years
Five years
My brain hurts a lot
Five years
That's what we got
Five years
Five years, five years
Five years
Oh, five years
Five years
That's all we got
Five years
My brain hurts a lot
Five years
Five long years
Five years
Five long years, five long years
Five years
Oh, five long years
Five years
Ooh, that's all we got
