Intro: I believe we're crossing a great ravine Still yearning, half-way a stranger I believe in our multiplicity Still part-blind, no reason for anger I believe we pull up our roots and retreat A new crop of aerials in Dacca and Canberra So why don't you tell me Why don't you tell me Why don't you tell me the truth about you Solo: Vaseline, you smeared it across every scene Anchor-man drowns in a sea of sensation Tyranny crushing the young bird's seed Halloween's mate short fuse of the banker I thought myself wise through all of these hopeless times But I told myself, told myself, you've got to hold on So why don't you tell me Why don't you tell me Why don't you tell me the truth about you Why don't you tell me Why don't you tell me Why don't you tell me the truth about you About you, about you Until End
