Forever You & I

You took me out of the city My hands cracked blue, feeling gritty And even this long haired hippie couldn't lie He cried, "I'm not on my own" Late night, get me into trouble Breaking in to skinny-dip at the Hair Pool And even this long haired hippie couldn't lie He cried, "What am I to do? Am I the fool?" Put my head down, politics aside We're so taboo But what is love? What is love? It's love that I wanted with you But I'm never one to say it's meant to be I don't believe in fate, anyway Even when we're dead, you're still mine A company man they said, all the time This world's a powder keg and everybody's gonna burn alive Forever you and I Small town try to keep a secret Soon enough everybody's gonna hear it "Lies!" they'll cry, one side Is it enough to just survive? I don't know But I'll work my fingers to the bone to make it alright It's do-or-die It's you and I A gambler losing his high But I'm never one to pray And as for God I hope they'll feel the same, by and by Even when we're dead, you're still mine A company man they said, all the time This world's a powder keg and everybody's gonna burn alive Forever you and I You took me out of the city My hands cracked blue, feeling gritty And even this long haired hippie couldn't lie He cried, "I'm not on my own"
