Stretch out and Wait

[Verse]

On the high-rise estate

What's at the back of your mind?

On a three day debate, on a high-rise estate

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 impulses sway

This way and that way, and this way and that way

God, how sex implores you

To let yourself lose yourself

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

As we lie, you say

"Will the world end in the night time?"

I really don't know

"Or will the world end in the day time?"

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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

Wait

Wait

Wait

Wait
