lyrics

it's time to hang the curtains up again
it's getting late in early June
that sun is rising at five am
you're waking up too soon

the grass is getting long enough
that you can see the grain
it's hard to lay it on, MacDuff
it's harder to explain

can't they see that no one reads the newspapers anymore?
you and me, let's escape before we lose what we were fighting for

too much to eat of the sweetest thing
I drank too much and I am filled
I want to stop before it starts to sting
but I'll continue still

while crying Lord why have you forsaken me
I am more human than I'd like to admit
it'll take more than the sun to awaken me
the space in mine where your hand fits

can't they see that no one reads the newspapers anymore?
you and me, let's escape before we lose what we were fighting for

were words where we were yesterday?
I hardly listen when you speak
I understand what you are, and what you say
although your tongue feels like Greek

can't they see that no one reads the newspapers anymore?
let's escape, you and me, before we lose what we were fighting for

it's time to hang the curtains up again
gotta keep the neighbors doubts
got to little time together then
we'll have to go without
