This  one is for you
 and it  goes on and on  and on
 when nothing  seems to do
 for when  the doubtless and the wrong
ask;  'can I help you?'
 in that way  that says, 'I can't'
 or claim  we're all the same
 just inconsistant
 or pretend  all understanding
 turned out  to be pretense
 then pretend  the pretense of understanding
 How long does it take depends
 You can cast your doubts
Turn  em inside-out
Hang  em upside-down
 Til their art falls out -  the short answer's; forty-eight  hours
 Let your heart all out - the short answer's; forty-eight hours
 Til your art falls out - the short answer's; forty-eight hours
 Let your heart all out Summon up all your power
If  you need a good connection for drugs
 or a strong  tolerance for alcohol
Too  little religious education
Some  pain threshold
If  from the outside
 There's no demand  for what you do
 And inside  there's an army waiting
 For their marching  orders for  you
Come  sit on my swing-set
Come  sit on my porch
 After Ten  at night, smoke your cigarettes
 if you like,  of course
 You can cast your doubts
Turn  em inside-out
Hang  em upside-down
 Til their art falls out -  the short answer's; forty-eight  hours
 Let your heart all out - the short answer's; forty-eight hours
 Til your art falls out - the short answer's; forty-eight hours
 Let your heart all out Summon up all your power
And  it does on and on and on
 If we ever get home
  let's don't compare
  let's relinquish all our holidays
  and Drive-In Premieres B E
if  we ever get home
  gonna have me three children
 Apple, Zippo, and Metronome
 that's what I'm gonna name them
 and get celebrity  skin
the  illusion of tough
  I'm gonna talk about nothing
  til nothing's enough B E
if  we ever get home
  and the subject comes up
 this War isn't for children
 War is nothing's enough
O'  in the clouds of blood at the end  of JAWS
in  the misted cars honking their applause
at  the Drive-In Double Feature
at  the heart of dark enough
 O' it's JAWS  and The Dark Canuck
should  we stay for The Dark Canuck?
 yea.Everyone,  hands up!?
 Who's for  'The Dark Canuck'?
I  think we relinquished enough
 and it's  still dark enough
 and it goes on and on and on
