Lyrics

Emily sat at her table
with her world spinning by too fast
staring out of her window
at her future flying past

She said, "The world is a dustpan
as you already know--
It wasn't at all like this
35 long years ago."

And I held my tongue. What good would it have done for me to disagree?

Hey you--listen to that.
In 30 years, that'll be you.
Listen, but never react.
Remember what you came to do here.

She said to me, "Love is an avalanche
as you already know--
it came upon me unexpectedly
and left me buried, numb and cold."

She levelled her little eyes at me
over the deli green tea
And said, "In the end they'll all realize
and they'll be so sorry."

But I held my tongue. What good would it have done for me to disagree?

Hey you--listen to that.
In 30 years, that'll be you.
Listen, but never react.
Remember what you came to do here.

This disease makes me wonder what else could go wrong today.
You're a girl who will never be able to say things the way she wants to.

So I held my tongue. What good would it have done for me to disagree?

Hey you--listen to that.
In 30 years, that'll be you.
Listen, but never react.
Remember what you came to do here.
