Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] 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] 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] 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 [Instrumental Break] [Interlude] 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-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-na-na-na) Na-na-na-na (Ah) Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na (Oh) [Chorus] 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 [Instrumental Outro]
