Ridiculous
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut
There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With
Let's Call The Whole Thing Off
you say either and i say either
you say neither and i say neither
either, either, neither, neither
let's call the whole thing off
you say tomato, i say tomato
you eat potato and i eat potato
tomato, tomato, potato, potato
let's call the whole thing off
but oh, if we call the whole thing off then we must part
and oh, if we ever part then that might break my heart
so, if you wear pajamas and i wear pajamas
i'll wear pajamas and give up pajamas
for we know we need eachother so we
better call the calling off, off
oh, let's call the whole thing off
you say after and i say after
you say laughter and i say laughter
after, after, laughter, laughter
let's call the whole thing off
you say havana and i say havana
you eat banana and i eat banana
havana, havana, banana, banana
let's call the whole thing off
but oh, if we call the whole thing off then we must part
and oh, if we ever part then that might break my heart
so, if you say oysters and i say oysters
i'll eat oysters and give up oysters
for we know we need eachother so we
better call the calling off, off
oh, let's call the whole thing off
