LYRICFLUENTFive Years Lyrics by Duran Duran
Below, you will find the lyrics for Five Years by Duran Duran.
Pushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over
We had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us
Earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet
Then I knew he wasn't lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TVs
My brain hurt like a warehouse, had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
All the fat, skinny people
And all the tall and short people
And all the nobody people
And all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people
A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
And if the black guy hadn't have pulled her off
I swear she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
While the queen threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlor
Drinking milkshakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
I don't think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained, so I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race
The way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful
I want you to walk
Five years, five years
Five years, five years
That's all we've got
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, what a surprise
Five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, stuck on eyes
Five years, what a surprise
Five years
Five years
Five years
Five years
Five years
Five years
