The Wrong Year Lyrics

steal a look
pretend it's a rainy day
don't dismay.
throw the book overboard
in hell they don't resuscitate
you'll quit the rosary and
join the replacements team

don't go thinking you will cause you won't
i can't make you
don't go saying you do cause you don't
and i can't take you by the hand
it's the right idea
in the wrong year.

maybe the maker shakes the sky
could be there's no reason why
those theories never pan out
that cleverness is dust

don't go thinking you will but you won't
i can't make you
don't go saying you do cause you don't
and i can't take you by the hand
it's the right idea
in the wrong year.

you can pray all you want to but i know
it's a black & white place
it's a long road
cold and shallow.
the road has swallowed you whole

don't go thinking you will but you won't
i can't make you
don't go saying you do cause you don't
and i can't take you by the hand
it's the right idea
in the wrong year.

so let's get outta here.
