The Wrong Year
Steal a look
Pretend it's a rainy day
Don't dismay
Throw the book overboard
In hell they don't resuscitate
You'll quit the rosary and
Join the replacements team
Don't go thinking you will cause you won't
I can't make you
Don't go saying you do 'cause you don't
And I can't take you by the hand
It's the right idea
In the wrong year
Maybe the maker shakes the sky
Could be, there's no reason why
Those theories never pan out
That cleverness is dust
Don't go thinking you will but you won't
I can't make you
Don't go saying you do 'cause you don't
And I can't take you by the hand
It's the right idea
In the wrong year
You can pray all you want to but I know
It's a black & white place
It's a long road
Cold and shallow
The road has swallowed you whole
Don't go thinking you will but you won't
I can't make you
Don't go saying you do 'cause you don't
And I can't take you by the hand
It's the right idea
In the wrong year
So let's get outta here
