The dark Canuck

This one is for you

and it goes on and on and on

when nothing seems to do

for when the doubtless and the wrong

ask; 'can I help you?'

in that way that says, 'I can't'

or claim we're all the same

just inconsistant

or pretend all understanding

turned out to be pretense

then pretend the pretense of understanding

How long does it take depends

You can cast your doubts

Turn em inside-out

Hang em upside-down

Til their art falls out-the short answer's; forty-eight hours

Let your heart all out-the short answer's; forty-eight hours

Til your art falls out-the short answer's; forty-eight hours

Let your heart all out

Summon up your power

If you need a good connection for drugs

or a strong tolerance for alcohol

Too little religious education

Some pain threshold

If from the outside

There's no deman for what you do

And inside there's an army waiting

For their marching orders for you

Come sit on my swing-set

Come sit on my porch

After Ten at night, smoke your cigarettes

if you like, ofcourse

You can cast your doubts

Turn em inside-out

Hang em upside-down

Til their art falls out- the short answer's; forty-eight hours

let your heart all out- the short answer's; forty-eight hours

Til their art falls out- the short answer's; forty-eight hours

Let your heart all out

Summon up all your power

And it does on and on and on

If we ever get home

let's don't compare

let's relinquish all our holidays

and Drive-In Premieres

if we ever get home

gonna have me three children

Apple, Zippo, and Metronome

that's what I'm gonna name them

and get celebrity skin

the illusion of tough

I'm gonna talk about nothing

til nothing's enough

if we ever get home

and the subject comes up

this War isn't for children

War is nothing's enough

O' in the clouds of blood at the end of JAWS

in the misted cars honking their applause

at the Drive-In Double Feature

at the heart of dark enough

O' it's JAWS and The Dark Canuck

should we stay for The Dark Canuck?

yea.Everyone, hands up!?

Who's for 'The Dark Canuck'?

I think we relinquished enough

and it's still dark enough

and it goes on and on and on
