Peaceful, the World Lays Me Down

When the baby's born
Oh, let's turn it to the snow
So that ice will surely grow
Over weak and brittle bones
Oh, let's leave it to the wolves
Oh, their teeth turn it to food
Oh, its flesh keeps them alive
Oh, its death helps life survive
Oh, the world can be kind in its own way

Oh well, your future's a machine
With the mechanics of a dream
It it's your mind that spins the wheel
And your heart that makes you feel
All the guilt for all your sins
Oh, and as that wheel spins
Oh well, it plays as they believed
And for your husband you have grieved

Oh, the world
Still deceives you as it turns
And in my weakest moments I could see
Oh, that the heart may be
The weakest part of me

Oh, and the moon controls
The movements of the tide
Oh, but it has no weight on the movements of my mind

But if you turn your hands to flames
All delight will burn the same
Whether you just pass it through or
If it's what you meant to do
When your sense is cold but still a dream
It's from the gods that you perceive
There comes the love that you believe
It's only grace
Oh, when you turn to a ghost
Oh, right now the love you found
Is meant to be a Mardi ground
All the dead have let you down
Cause it still occurs
That they go on the same

Oh well in five years time we could be walking round a zoo
With the sun shining down over me and you
And there'll be love in the bodies of the elephants too
And I'll put my hands over your eyes, but you'll peep through

And there'll be sun sun sun all over our bodies
And sun sun sun all down our necks
And sun sun sun all over our faces
And sun sun sun -so what the heck!

Cos I'll be laughing at all your silly little jokes
And we'll be laughing about how we used to smoke
All those stupid little cigarettes and drink stupid wine
Cos it's what we needed to have a good time

And it was fun fun fun when we were drinking
It was fun fun fun when we were drunk
And it was fun fun fun when we were laughing
It was fun fun fun, oh it was fun

Oh well I look at you and say
It's the happiest that I've ever been
And I'll say I no longer feel I have to be James Dean
And she'll say
"Yah well I feel all pretty happy too"
And I'm always pretty happy when I'm just kicking back with you

And it'll be love love love all through our bodies
And love love love all through our minds
And it be Love love love all over her face
And Love love love all over mine

Although maybe all these moments are just in my head
I'll be thinking ‘bout them as I'm lying in bed
And all that I believe, it might not even come true
But in my mind I'm havin' a pretty good time with you

In five years time I might not know you
In five years time we might not speak
In five years time we might not get along
In five years time you might just prove me wrong

Oh there'll be love love love
Wherever you go
There'll be love
