Sole salvation

Of course I want there to be an us
I've always wanted that
And if giving time and patience
Trying hard to understand

We never feel the power of our own hands
Sense the danger late
And only vaguely ever grasp
The means of our sole salvation?

What then? Do it right, do it now
Here there, everywhere
Shouting out I'm mad as hell
He pushes his legs against the bed

And feels the triumph flooding through his head
He could conquer, he could win
Now that dying only means
You're not in next week's program

Stop being a baby, will you stop, will you stop it?
Won't you stop play-acting, little man?
Just how long till you drop it will it be
This year, next year, sometime, never?

Stop, when you feel like saying
Have a heart but don't take mine
There's a new dance, 'The Tolerance'
And it just might be your sole salvation

Sole salvation, your sole salvation
Your sole salvation
Ooh, yeah, yeah
Skabadoo, skabaday

Make a cross, make amends
To set the record straight
(Sole salvation, sole salvation)
We've never said the only things
We should have ever bothered saying
(Sole salvation, sole salvation)

Let's write out a list of things we need
Let's strike a brand new deal
(Sole salvation, sole salvation)
That's strong for any man
But has a woman's understanding in it and then finish
(Sole salvation, sole salvation)

Sole salvation, sole salvation

(Sole salvation, sole salvation)
Just stop, when you feel like saying
Have a heart but don't take mine
(Sole salvation, sole salvation)
There's a new dance, 'The Tolerance'
It just might be your sole salvation

Sole salvation, your sole salvation
Sole salvation, sole salvation
Sole salvation, sole salvation
Sole salvation

Ooh, yeah, yeah
Skabadoo, skabaday, skabadoo, skabaday
Skabadoo, skabaday, skabadoo, skabaday
Skabadoo, skabaday, skabadoo, skabaday
