Cowboy Junkies - Five Years(2022)

[00:14.10] Pushing through the market square
[00:18.84] So many mothers sighing
[00:23.85] News just come over
[00:27.70] We had five years left to cry in
[00:34.32] News guy wept and told us
[00:38.82] Earth was really dying
[00:44.25] Cried so much, his face was wet
[00:48.42] Then I knew he was not lying
[00:53.56] I heard telephones, opera house, even melodies
[00:58.80] I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TV's
[01:04.29] My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
[01:09.05] I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
[01:14.18] And all the fat, skinny people
[01:18.39] And all the tall, short people
[01:23.35] And all the nobody people
[01:28.44] And all the somebody people
[01:32.54] Never thought I'd need so many people
[01:41.14] A girl my age went off her head
[01:46.34] Hit some tiny children
[01:51.48] If the black hadn't have pulled her off
[01:55.44] I think she would have killed them
[02:01.51] A soldier with a broken arm
[02:05.37] Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
[02:11.92] A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
[02:16.12] And a queer threw up at the sight of that
[02:22.24] I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour
[02:27.36] Drinking milkshakes cold and long
[02:31.88] Smiling and waving and looking so fine
[02:37.79] I don't think you knew you were in this song
[02:41.78] And it was cold and it rained, I felt like an actor
[02:46.82] 'Til thought of ma and I wanted to get back there
[02:52.32] Your face, your race, the way that you talk
[02:57.68] I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
[03:02.38] We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
[03:07.80] Five years, what a surprise
[03:12.30] We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
[03:18.26] Five years, that's all we've got
[03:22.73] We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
[03:28.56] Five years, what a surprise
[03:33.12] We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
[03:38.65] Five years, that's all we've got
[03:43.25] We've got five years
[03:49.28] Five years, what a surprise
[03:53.37] We've got five years
[03:59.16] Five years, that's all we've got
[04:04.27] Five years
[04:07.36] They got five years
[04:08.84]
