Forever

The bass is drummin’, the guitar is strummin’, the voices are a’singing.

The sun, it is shining, but the tears they are pouring

The mouths are grinning, but the hearts are breaking

Somewhere a dog is barking and somewhere a woman is weeping

The wolves are howling as the humans are breeding

The moon is shining and the sorrow is waxing.

But who’s on your mind?

But why do you say it?

But can you really dream it?

The legs are opening, but the males are unwilling

The fingers, on the keys, they are falling

The voices, on cue, they are singing

The women, as always, are shouting

And the girls are laughing.

But what are you afraid of?

But what are you talking about?

But who are you thinking of?

The phones are always ringing

The winos keep on drinking

Your friends are forever dying

Somehow you are still hoping.

But who do you really want?

What do you really need?

Where should you really go?

The doors are forever closing

The claws are still scratching

As the papers are burning.

And you know you have to go

And you think you know

And you know you think you should

The dead are still rotting

The living are still dying.

But and you but do you

And but do you but

And so you but do you…

It is all never ending
