but there's nothing really happening.
The place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night.

that time cannot decay,
I'm junk but I'm still holding up
this little wild bouquet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

that's when you've got to play it dumb:
You just say you're out there waiting
for the miracle to come.

There's nothing left to do.
I haven't been this happy
since the end of World War II.

Every heart to love will come
But like a refugee.
