Stretch out and Wait - 2011 Remaster Songtext
von The Smiths

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 kink
But 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 influences 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
As we lie, you say

"Will the world end in the nighttime?"
I really don't know
"Or will the world end in the daytime?"
I really don′t know
"And is there any point ever having children?"
Oh, I don′t know
All 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
Wait, oh, ta-dah

Um, um, um
