It’s easy now to see just how the present’s leaking fast
When it’s all, all made up
Never mind, perfect your whine and your affected croaks
Maybe they won’t catch you up
Such bad blood
Between such good friends
All I wanted was a vision of your worries in a body bag
Give it time, it’s what it craves to let the phrases flow
Do-si-do, and so on
And they watched us grow
Between well-made beds
All I wanted was a vision of your worries in a body bag
Part IV
And I know you, I know you’d say that all is not lost
That’s where they found us with our chubby little forearms crossed
I’d been away from here for so long that I thought I had this whole place figured out
But maybe I’m so close to it I cannot hear the echoes for the shouts
‘Cause all I wanted was a vision of your worries in a body bag
All I wanted was something I hadn’t worked out I already had
And though I’m twice the size of someone else from half a lifetime ago
There’s still secrets in the pavements and there’s voices in the cracks along the road
