Forgive me this sin   I'm falling over   flashing ten grands   rolling in clover   so ready to get up   and eager to please   when it's late in the day   in the middle of the life of the twentieth century      I never got it   I never got it before   hey hello   why do you get on   so much undone   just like it was before   we both got a lot to be thankful for   we both got a lot to be thankful for      Forgive me my tongue   doesn't know what it's doing   used to get washed out   now it's undisciplined and crude   I'm losing my language    call it a tuce   and the shapes of the thoughts in my head   aren't right for the words I've got to use      I got it never   never got out before   hey hello   why do you get on   so much undone   still you shine like the sun   we both got a lot to be thankful for   we both got a lot to be thankful for      white dwarf   red giant   it's empty in space   and where there's matter there's violence      I never got it   I never got it before   hey hello   why do you get on   so much undone   still you shine like the sun   we got a lot to be thankful for   we both got a lot to be thankful for
