The Constable

You happened years ago now But yesterday, I saw a man kicking a dog in the street And from the distance, I thought that you might be the man And God, I wanted that dog to be me Well, I tried not to stare as he whimpered and died Still attached to the leash But in heaven, babe, there ain't no place to hide 'Cause some dogs sure do know how to bleed Time spins around me But I'll stand still 'tIl I fall ill Or 'til I fold down dead (Still wishing my hands were your hands) (As I hold my own head) It was early this morning when I opened my eyes To find that I couldn't see So I ran out the driveway, straight into the highways And slammed my head against the concrete There was a thousand pink slugs out of my open skull It was then I remembered the constable A once handsome horse, rusted into a toy Just as I, a great man, have grown into a scared little boy Time spins around me But I'll stand still 'til I fall ill Or 'til I fold down dead (Still wishing my hands were your hands) (As I hold my own) So goodbye forever, forever I wIll see you again tomorrow to say good Bye forever, forever I wIll you see again tomorrow to say goodbye, bye Goodbye forever, forever I wIll see you again tomorrow to say good Tomorrow to say good It takes forever to say good So goodbye forever, forever I will see you again, will see you again Tomorrow The world is ending, the planet is shaking Overtaken by the big blue screens Some hid in the caves and they screamed and they prayed The ceilings fell and they were crushed beneath A rocket ship from the shore, it took those who could afford it To fight a war between heaven and space Some took to the seas while others watched their TVs Dying with dignity and grace But I just ignored it, I sat on the doorstep Of the house where you used to live (Happy New Year) I couldn't hear a sound, I couldn't hear a sound (Ten, nine, eight, seven, six) Well, they say love is loud (Five, four, three, two, one) (Happy New Year) (Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one) (Happy New Year) (Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one) (Happy New Year) (Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one) (Happy New Year) (Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one) (Happy New Year) (Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one) (Happy New Year) (Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one) (Happy New Year) (Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one) (Happy New Year) (Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one) (Happy New Year) (Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one) (Happy New Year)
