Everything Takes Forever

As you stumble into the future

Remorselessly moving out of the past

And you separate the reflex moments of living

You drag down the morning into your room

You can sing with your partner

You can sing by yourself

You can sing that everything takes forever

You can sing with the vampires

You can sing with the beast

You can sing that everything takes forever

As you sit at the table you make small decisions

You lie in your bed and you laugh at the dark

You ask yourself a hundred dumb questions

And you answer yourself with a hundred dumb lies

(Chorus)

And then tomorrow wake up with a stranger

You drag down the morning into your room

(Chorus)

You can sing in the twilight

You can sing in the morning

You can sing that everything takes forever

You can sing in the orchards

You can sing by the streams

You can sing that everything takes forever

You can sing under stars

You can sing in the graveyard

You can sing that everything takes forever

You can sing in your sunglasses

You can sing by the moon

You can sing that everything takes forever

You can sing with accordians

You can sing with violins

You can sing that everything takes forever

You can sing with the knifethrowers

You can sing with the freaks

You can sing that everything takes forever

You can sing in the avenues

You can sing under starlight

You can sing that everything takes forever

You can sing with the last ones

You can sing with the children

You can sing that everything takes forever
