La Dispute - One lyrics
[La Dispute - One lyrics]
In the last quarter of the twentieth century
Much of the world sat on the
Edge of an increasingly
Expensive theatre seat
Waiting for something momentous to occur
Christian aficionados of the Second
Coming scenario were
Convinced that, after two thousand years
The other shoe was about to drop
And five of the era’s
Best-known psychics predicted that
Atlantis would
Soon re-emerge from the depths
To this last, Princess Leigh-Cheri responded
"There are three lost continents…we
Are one: the lovers"
In whatever esteem one might
Hold Princess Leigh-Cheri’s thoughts
One must agree that the last quarter
Of the twentieth century was
A severe period for lovers it
Was a time when romantic
Relationships took on the character
Of ice in spring
Stranding many little children on
Jagged and inhospitable floes
Nobody quite knew what to make
Of the moon anymore
Consider a certain night in August the
Moon was so bloated it
Was about to tip over for more than an hour
Leigh-Cheri stared into the sky "Does the
Moon have a purpose?" She inquired
The same query put to the
Remington SL3 elicited this response:
Albert Camus wrote that the only serious
Question is whether to kill
Yourself or not tom Robbins wrote
That the only serious
Question is whether time has a
Beginning and an end camus
Clearly got up on the wrong side of bed
And Robbins must have forgotten
To set the alarm
There is only one serious question and
That is: Who knows how to
Make love stay? Answer me that
And I will tell you
Whether or not to kill yourself answer
Me that and I will
Ease your mind about the beginning
And end of time
Answer me that and I will reveal to
You the purpose of the moon
Much of the world sat on the
Edge of an increasingly
Expensive theatre seat
Waiting for something momentous to occur
Christian aficionados of the Second
Coming scenario were
Convinced that, after two thousand years
The other shoe was about to drop
And five of the era’s
Best-known psychics predicted that
Atlantis would
Soon re-emerge from the depths
To this last, Princess Leigh-Cheri responded
"There are three lost continents…we
Are one: the lovers"
In whatever esteem one might
Hold Princess Leigh-Cheri’s thoughts
One must agree that the last quarter
Of the twentieth century was
