A La La

[Verse 1] My hope was just in season, and that's the truth of it As I looked up at the clouds, and called them by what I did Naming the stars after the shapes that we saw there Light up the moon with our mouths and shouted once again Ah, ah, ah, ah Under our breath we muttered curses at the passerbys Turned the curses so they rhyme and called them lullabies and Sing ourselves to slumber sneaking somewhere There's a sleep we sought way back when [Refrain] Wh-wh-wh, wh-wh-wh, wh-wh-wh, wh-when Wh-wh-wh, wh-wh-wh, wh-wh-wh, wh-when [Verse 2] Just sneaking somewhere is a song upon which we rely To keep our arms and bodies precariously entwined and As I move to the spot where you had just been My mind and body turn and we begin again [Refrain] A-na-na, a-na-na, a-na-na, again A-na-na, a-na-na, a-na-na, again Again Oh, babe, well [Bridge] 'Cause even you can find a shoulder to lean upon Some other bastard social soldier without uniform and He will look you in the eyes and you would feel at home And then the moment had passed and you were once again [Refrain] A-la-la, a-la-la, a-la-la, alone A-la-la, a-la-la, a-la-la, alone A-la-la, a-la-la, a-la-la, alone A-la-la, A-la-la, A-la-la-la-la-la-la-lone Alone Oh, babe, well [Verse 3] You will find me in a stance in empty arms Shaking my head and sneaking glances for you in the crowd At the passerbys Shaking my head like we used to do in better times [Outro] T-t-tuh, t-t-tuh, t-t-better times T-t-tuh, t-t-tuh, t-t-better times
