More love

More love

More love

All along 'em I can hear me

I go for the caste

I fall off a bass boat

And the concrete's very slow

And the concrete's very slow

All along the sideline's bigger

I'm over the dash

I'm having a bad, bad toke

But the berries still to come

All along them I can hear ya

I can hear, I can hear

I can hear, I can hear crying (I can hear)

I can hear cry (crying)

I can hear, I can hear (crying)

I can hear, I can hear crying

(I can hear, I can hear)

All along me I can hear you

I'd occupy that

Can't sit back long while you're forming that

Oh my mind our kids got bigger

But I'm climbing down the bastion now

You take me out to pasture now

Well I won't be angry long

Well I can't be angry long

We burnt up in my bed

Standing on the mattress, laul

Laul, can't we just patch this up?

And I cannot seem to carry it all

All along we I can hear me

I can hear, I can hear

I can hear, I can hear crying (I can hear)

I can hear cry (crying)

I can hear, I can hear

I can hear, I can hear crying

I can hear crying

I can hear, I can hear

I can hear, I can hear crying

I can hear cry

I can hear, I can hear

I can hear, I can hear crying

All around me I can hear 'em

So what is gonna happen now?

If you don't look away

What's there to pontificate on now?

There's someone in my head

Tell them I'll be passing on

Tell them we're young mastodons

And it can't be that it's all

And it can't be that it's all

I'm telling you that I do feel ya

It's suddenly paths, mama

It ain't about class, mama

And it won't be very long

Oh, it won't be very long

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

(I can hear)

I can hear (crying)

I can hear, I can hear (crying, crying)

I can hear

(I can hear crying)

(Crying, crying)
