Or claim we're all the same just inconsistent
Hang 'em upside-down
Let your heart all out
If we ever get home
The short answer's, forty-eight hours
And get celebrity skin
For when the doubtless and the wrong
Let's relinquish all our holidays
Summon up all your power
After Ten at night, smoke your cigarettes
Yeah, everyone hands up
War is nothing's enough
At the Drive-In Double Feature
Summon up all your power
The short answer's, forty-eight hours
For their marchin' orders for you
If we ever get home
O' it's 'Jaws' and 'The Dark Canuck'
And inside there's an army waitin'
And the subject comes up
Let your heart all out
The short answer's, forty-eight hours
If we ever get home
Too little religious education
In that way that says, I can't
I'm gonna talk about nothin'
Some pain threshold, if from the outside
That's what I'm gonna name them
I think we relinquished enough
'Til their art falls out
The short answer's, forty-eight hours
Or a strong tolerance for alcohol
Let your heart all out
The illusion of tough
O' in the clouds of blood at the end of 'Jaws'
If you need a good connection for drugs
Come sit on my swing-seat, come sit on my porch
You can cast your doubts
'Til their art falls out
Who's for 'The Dark Canuck'?
Turned out to be pretense
'Til nothing's enough
Apple, Zippo and Metronome
'Til their art falls out
In the misted cars honking their applause
The short answer's, forty-eight hours
And it's still dark enough
And drive-in premieres
Or pretend all understandin'
'Til their art falls out
Hang 'em upside-down
If you like, of course
Should we stay for 'The Dark Canuck'?
Then pretend the pretense of understandin'
Ask, "Can I help you?"
How long does it take, depends
Let your heart all out
Turn 'em inside-out
At the heart of dark enough
There's no demand for what you do
You can cast your doubts
Turn 'em inside-out
The short answer's, forty-eight hours
Gonna have me three children
This war isn't for children
And it goes on and on and on
Let's don't compare
