Just A Lifetime Lyrics - Legendary Pink Dots

Weeping like the ghost of winter, we watch our tears 

kiss ash and turn to steam. We walk on hot coals 

where a stream meandered. Tarred and tanned. We 

flex and count the tumours on our hands--spreading 

swiftly now. For this, we waited just a lifetime. 

Sun blessed mirror shaded mad dogs. Blow a kiss we'll 

all fall over. Hunting the oasis but there's only cola- 

sensurround. A technicolour thrill . . . it costs a fortune, 

so it must be real. For just a little sip, we'll 

keep waiting (just a lifetime.) 

And some of us work underground. We dug a hole and 

settled down. We waited for the gentle sound of steady 

rain to soak the ground and raattle on our ventilator. 

Guess the time we sat there waiting. Yes, you 

guessed! We waited just a lifetime. 

And dragons walked the earth again; parrafin was free. 

A fire-eater went insane and torched the final tree. 

And one fine say the planet crumbled, just cos 

someone sneezed. For this, we waited just a lifetime.
