Joshua smiled, said "listen to reason
Don't blame me when the walls come tumbling
Down."

So I was adrift on the sea of longing
Awaiting the trumpets to raise your ivory
Gown

And if only time will tell
Then I can't stand waiting
While the lights are changing on me
Tell it to my own free will
If I lost this thorn from my side
I think I'd die

Albert Camus said, "living is anguish,"
But don't dare let those bastards get you
Down

And if this is so then I see no reason
For spending the evening doing anything but going down
Town

And if only time will tell
Then I can't stand waiting
While the lights are changing on me
Tell it to my own free will
If I lost this thorn from my side
I'd probably die
Most likely die
I think I'd die
