[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1: Peter Gabriel, Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins]
Home from work, our Juliet
Clears her morning meal
She dabs her skin with pretty smells
Concealing to appeal
"I will make my bed"
She said, but turned to go
Can she be late for her Cinema show?
Cinema show
[Verse 2: Peter Gabriel, Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins]
Romeo locks his basement flat
And scurries up the stair
With head held high and floral tie
A weekend millionaire
"I will make my bed
With her tonight" he cries
Can he fail armed with his chocolate surprise?
[Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
Take a little trip back with father Tiresias
Listen to the old one speak of all he has lived through
I have crossed between the poles
For me there's no mystery
Once a man, like the sea I raged
Once a woman, like the earth I gave
But there is in fact more earth than sea
[Flute Solo]
[Interlude: Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel]
Na, na, na-na
Na, na, na, na-na, na (Ooh-ee, na, na)
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na, na (Na-na, na, na-na-na, na-na, na)
Na, na, na-na (Mm, na-na)
Na, na, na, na-na, na (Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na) (Na, na-na-na)
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na, na (La-la, la-la, la) (Na-na, ha, na-na, mm, na, na-na)
Na, na, na, na (Na-na, na)
Na, na, na, na-na, na, na, na (Ah, oh) (Na, na, na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na)
[Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
Take a little trip back with father Tiresias
Listen to the old one speak of all he has lived through
I have crossed between the poles
For me there's no mystery
Once a man, like the sea I raged
Once a woman, like the earth I gave
But there is in fact more earth than sea
