Why are you dancing like a cautious one-legged
who carries the worry of this world on the shoulders
With surrendering eyes like an old hippy in New York
the night when Lennon died
Forget all the pressing worries
and the bony skulls of our past
Forget all the lost arrows
And uncle Coincidence's curved balls
Don't talk about tomorrow
Don't think we're going to hell
Don't talk about tomorrow
Let's for a moment be as if everything was still okay
Was it just better to imagine than to hear the truth?
Was it just better to imagine than to hear?
Poor excuses, a neck feasted on
A nail in the coffin hammered with wickedness
Maybe we aren't in a hurry to get to our home cemetery
Stereos are broken and Lennon doesn't sing
Forget all the pillows we cried on
What I didn't find back home in the morning1
Forget all that has been and gone
when you also tripped on a foreign bed
Don't talk about tomorrow
Don't think we're going to hell
Don't talk about tomorrow
Let's for a moment be as if everything was still okay
Was it just better to imagine than to hear the truth?
Was it just better to imagine than to hear?
Forget all those wasted years
The clock that slows down and the dying tree
Forget it all for a moment
Don't talk about tomorrow
Don't think we're going to hell
Don't talk about tomorrow
Let's for a moment be as if everything was still okay
Don't think we're going to hell
Let's for a moment be as if everything was still okay
