lyrics

If you had lived upon the rock
It wouldn't have taken that much longer
Anyway
You will grow up into a lady
Then there won't be much more time
So why don't we go to town?

There's a hundred miniature houses
All gathered on the shoreline
They can't have been here last year
Money wasn't thrown around back then
They won't be here next year
When the sand has all washed away downstream
So if we only have an hour
We'll do nobody proud

You look at me as if to say "Only you can remember"
Well, I don't remember that
And if the world comes crashing to the ground
Turn it down
See what you've found
As the good book says
Now is not the time
To wash away your bad thoughts in a puddle of blood
But put them to one side
Let's go for a drive

There's two little birds
They're fighting in the street now
Spreading those feathers around
But what can you do?
Nothing can last forever
It goes until it stops

And when the sky is falling softly down
Burn it to the ground
Go another round
If you had lived upon the rock
It wouldn't have taken that much longer
Anyway
