Take Five - Dave Brubeck

Pushing thru the market square So many mothers sighing News had just come over, We had five years left to cry in News guy wept and told us Earth was really dying Cried so much his face was wet Then I knew he was not lying I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies I saw boys, toys electric irons and T.V.'s My brain hurt like a warehouse It had no room to spare I had to cram so many things To store everything in there And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people I never thought I'd need so many people A girl my age went off her head Hit some tiny children If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheel of a Cadillac A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest And a queer threw up at the sight of that I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour Drinking milk shakes cold and long Smiling and waving and looking so fine Don't think you knew you were in this song And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there Your face, your race, the way that you talk I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk We've got five years, stuck on my eyes We've got five years, what a surprise We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot We've got five years, that's all we've got

Take yours, and I'll take mine On the right hand side And I'll rest, and you'll find That you take rest in wine? So take these words And make them right So one day you and I Will write our names In the sky We'll confide? And I'll find mine on the right of your side And I'll find mine on the right of your side If I throw away my fear and pride To set things right Then I'll find mine on the right of your side And brothers and sisters Fill these cups with life Please forgive them Cause they know not their lives? So take these words And make them right So one day you and I Will write our names In the sky We'll confide? And I'll find mine on the right of your side And I'll find mine on the right of your side If I throw away my fear and pride To set things right Then I'll find mine on the right of your side

You bumped into me I was down and you took me up past the ceiling You are the disease I'm the remedy that numbs all your feelings You come looking for me I'm the only one that keeps you sound Bring it down to your knees 'Cause I'm the only one that makes you, you, you, you Take me, please, take me It's the only way, please, take me You came after me I'm not worth anything if I'm not inside you Only you can truly see All the hell you put me through and the vicious feeding Can't really be free 'Cause every time I run away you hunt me down I can't ever blame me 'Cause every time I turn around, it's you, you, you, it's you Take me, please, take me It's the only way, please, take me I feel it calling, I feel it holding me It's taking everything I love away from me I feel it ripping, I feel it scarring me That shit has made me blind to all reality I feel it calling, I feel it calling It's calling me Go away, away Go away, away Take me, please, take me It's the only way, please take me Take me, please, take me It's the only way, please take me

Get up, get out Move 'em, move 'em, there's no doubt I'm all wrong, you're right It's all the same with you I'm too thin, too fat You ask why So why, so why? So why, so why? On and on And on and on On and on And on and on Don't wanna grow up I wanna get out Hey, take me away I want to shout out Take me away, away Away, away, away Round and round, here we go again Same old start, same old end Turn my head and turn back again Same old stuff, never ends Do this, do that Can't deal, can't deal with that I tune in, tune out I've heard it all before Hello, goodbye Never asking me why Goodbye, goodbye Goodbye On and on And on and on On and on And on and on Don't wanna grow up I wanna get out Hey, take me away I want to shout out Take me away, away Away, away, away Don't wanna grow up I wanna get out Hey, take me away I want to shout out Take me away, away Away, away, away Don't wanna grow up I wanna get out Hey, take me away I want to shout out Take me away, away Away, away, away Round and round, here we go again Same old story, the same old end Turn my head and turn back again Same old stuff, never ends

Long night, wake up Tears in your makeup Cry in the kitchen Quiet conviction Say that you're leaving Think you don't need me Well, that's probably true but I still need you 'cause I'm a mess these days No, you don't have to stay Just take me with you when you go, go, go I know the things I said before, oh no Don't let it come between us Just hold on to the feeling When the distance starts to grow, grow, grow Just take me with you when you go Six weeks, six months I forget how long I kept you waiting Testing your patience Our hearts don't break They just rearrange Cover the bruises Try to get through this, but I'm a mess these days No, you don't have to stay Just take me with you when you go, go, go I know the things I said before, oh no Don't let it come between us Just hold on to the feeling When the distance starts to grow, grow, grow Just take me with you when you go Deep down in your soul It's hard to be alone And I'm I know, sometimes Just take me with you when you go, go, go I know the things I said before, oh no Don't let it come between us Just hold on to the feeling When the distance starts to grow, grow, grow Just take me with you when you go
