If you combine flattery
With a long history
Then there are no easy answers

You hid your face
You hid your face in a place
Where there are no easy answers

In the name of everyone who met me
Am I supposed to commit hari kari?
With sword in hand I face demands

Delivered with the best intentions
From the department of corrections
But who will tell my next of kin
That tomorrow stand for nothing?

It was years ago, it was years ago
Since you left us alone
It was years ago, it was years ago

Only time will show, only time will show
How much you mean to the world
Only time will show, it was years ago

If you combine flattery
With a long history
There are no easy answers

You hid your face
You hid your face in a place
Where there are no easy answers

Somebody said you should have left her
I think it was an empty gesture

It's not as though they really cared like
It's a shame about the weather
You left home on a stretcher
I remember 'cause I saw a picture of it

It was years ago, it was years ago
Since you left us, I know
It was years ago, it was years ago

Only time will show, only time will show
How much you mean to the world
Only time will show, it was years ago

It's your mind, it's your voice
It's your body, it's your choice
It's your mind, it's your voice
It's your body, it's your choice

It's your mind, it's your voice
It's your body, it's your choice
It's your mind, it's your voice
It's your body, it's your choice

It's your mind, it's your voice
It's your body, it's your choice
It's your mind, it's your voice
It's your body, it's your choice

If you combine flattery
With a long history
Then there are no easy answers
