lyrics

From now on,
I’ll be tiptoeing out through the lawn,
Humming this song -
We can make believe nothing is wrong...

Just ignore
All the men with their hands on the door;
Who is it for
When you agonize down to your core?

Oh Agnes, see?
This is all madness now to me,
Unspeakably dull.
Out on the open sea
With a hearse and our hearts on the quay;
It’s all so null...

From this loam,
I will make us a place to call home,
Decored and domed
(And they’ll finally leave us alone!)

We’ll define
Ourselves by all the goodness we find;
Try to be kind
And they’ll no longer keep us confined.

Oh Agnes, how
Can we afford this sadness now?
There isn’t much time...
We’re like those birds on boughs
Who just wuther and wither and grouse
In springtime.

Run with me,
Agnes!

Please won’t you run with me? (x2)
Look what they’ve done with me!
Please won’t you run with me? (x2)
Lay down your gun with me!
Please won’t you run with me,
Agnes?
