I went down to
Where sunday afternoons are only for petting
Horrid wars were waged
But no one here recalls a thing
My arms are still trembling

There is a place
Where I would never go out
In the daytime

Hatchlings learn to stand singing
Songs that only the deaf could bear to hear
Kids wet their lips and kiss
Making the lonely jealous and the jealous lonelier

There is a place
Where I would never go out
In the daytime

I jumped through the ages
Like I went from place to place
And all time I waited
My back was on the rails
I dreamt that I would kiss you
And very little else
I feared that I would lie to you
But I knew I would repent
Within the lives I have left

There is a place
Where you and I will marry
But I haven't found it yet
