Stretch Out And Wait

Stretch Out And Wait

All the lies that you make up 

What's at the back of your mind? 

Oh, your face I can see and it's desperately kind

What's at the back of your mind? 

Two icy-cold hands conducting the way 

It's the Eskimo blood in my veins 

Amid concrete and clay 

And general decay 

Nature must still find a way

So ignore all the codes of the day 

Let your juvenile impulses sway 

This way and that way 

This way that way 

God, how sex implores you 

To let yourself lose yourself 

Stretch out and wait 

Stretch out and wait 

Let your puny body

Lie down, lie down 

As we lie, you say 

As we lie, you say 

Stretch out and ... 

Stretch out and wait 

Stretch out and wait 

Let your puny body lie down, lie down 

And as we lie, you say

Will the world end in the night time? 

I really don't know

Or will the world end in the day time? 

I really don't know

And is there any point ever having children? 

Oh, I don't know

What I do know is we're Here and it's Now 

So stretch out and wait 

Stretch out and wait 

There is no debate, no debate, no debate 

How can you consciously contemplate 

When there's no debate, no debate? 

Stretch out and wait 

Stretch out and wait 

Stretch out and wait 

Wait, wait, wait 

Oh

(Marr / Morrissey)
