...we can work it out
...we can work this out
Earth to me, earth to you
I know you enjoy the view
a simple disconnection
a fish-eyed perception
underwater, hypmotized
We cannot stay, we have to rise,
or fall from space
get back in your place
or is this my place?
We can work it out
make the best of time and space
We can work it out
talk about it face to face
Smith & Wesson just in case
Every time I look around
I see your face is smiling down..
at my ignorance of your defense
or perhaps it's my intelligence
Time to find some common ground
before we let our walls come down
and there's no trace of trust behind your face....
We can work it out
make the best of time and space
We can work it out
talk about it face to face
Smith & Wesson just in case
we can't work this out
We're running out of time
running out of good nature
Let's make a compromise before I learn to hate ya'
cut me down to size - this 2:1 ratio
it's a game show, let me tell ya',
better fuckin' tell the truth
We can work this out
talk about it face to face
We can work this out
make the best of time and space
We can work this out
Smith & Wesson just in case
we can make an intelligent compomise
We can work this out
it's the waiting that brings me down to common ground
We can work this out
earth to me earth to you
We can work this out
is the waiting that brings me down to common ground
