Of course I want there to be an us, I've always wanted that But how And if giving time and patience Trying hard to understand We never feel the power of our own hands Sense the danger late And only vaguely ever grasp the means of our sole salvation?
What then? Do it right, do it now! Here there, everywhere Shouting out "I'm mad as hell" He pushes his legs against the bed And feels the triumph flooding through his head He could conquer, He could win, Now that dying only means you're not in next week's programme Stop being a baby
Will you stop, will stop it Won't you stop play-acting little man? Just how long till you drop it Will it be this year, next year, sometime, never? Stop, when you feel like saying "Have a heart but don't take mine" There's a new dance "The Tolerence," And it just might be your sole salvation
Sole salvation Sole salvation Sole salvation Skabadoo ooh yeah, Yeah skabaday,
Make a cross, Make amends, Set the record straight We've never said the only things we should have ever Bothered saying Lets write out a list of things we need Lets strike a brand new deal That's stron for any man, But has a woman's understanding in it And then finish!
Just stop, when you feel like saying "Have a heart, but don't take mine" Try a new dance "The Tolerence," It just might be our sole salvation, Sole salvation sole salvation sole salvation Sole salvation, Sole salvation? Oooh yeah yeah Skab-a-doo, skab-a-day Skab-a-doo, skab-a-day.
