Lyrics.

I remember you; yes, I do.
You wanted to travel the South
I wanted to travel north, but
I'll admit I had my doubts:
Would you would be the same as
I knew you to be?

Oh, well.
No. Probably not.
But, that's nor here or there.
I know you don't like it:
So, I'll just keep smoking my cigarettes -
A pack and a half a day.

Will that run you off?
I'm doing my best.
There's a theatre up on the hill.
So, I've been acting my part,
you've been doing the same;
so, which will leave the stage first?

Christians fight the wars for the people.
I've been fighting my part, too.
I've been watching the TV -
The bombs dropping on cities of the world
And, I can't help but think:
They think God is on their side.
Well, sure, but so do we.
We have laws in which we must abide,
but I sort of think this is wrong.

But, I'd rather win than lose.

So, dweller of the north east,
am I still who you remember me being?
I doubt it, because I think I am too,
but you really think you're seeing
the point of it all: Yes, the big picture
But, I saw - we have to read the fine print
What is the point? - Of it all, I mean
Oh, I don't know. Count me out.

Imagine what you want.

So, tell my brother that I love him;
proud of him and can see him.
Tell my mom her support really helped,
and got me through the days.
My dad - well, he did his best.
Can't say much more than that.
I mean, that's all we - any of us -
can really do.

So, it's okay. Don't worry about.
You lost 2 out of 3.
That's not so bad. It's a losing hand, sure.
But, you had one to make it all worth it.
And, he'll endure to keep up your name.

Smile, nod, and say your prayer.
I'll do the same, we can be on equal levels.
And, it'll all be okay in the end:
When the sun swollows the Earth.
