Every Now and Then - Opus

EVERY NOW AND THEN

— IVE GOT TO THINK AGAIN

OF TIMES WHEN LIFE

WAS EASY LIKE A GAME

EVERA NOW AND THEN

— WITH NOTHING MUCH

LEFT TO RETAIN

I KNOW THAT IT WILL

NEVER BE THE SAME

— NEVERMORE THE SAME

SINCE IT BURNED

BURNED DOWN AND NEVER STOPPED

BACK THEN IN APRIL 19 866

STILL IT BURNS

HOW WILL IT EVER STOP

IF ALL OUR HOUSE

IS BUILT OF NUCLEAR BRICKS

EVERY NOW AND THEN

— I FEEL IT AGAIN

MY EYES LOOK DOWN

SO PARALIZED WITH SHAME

EVERY NOW AND THEN

— SOME TEARS OF FEAR

I can’t RESTAIN

COULD WE HAVE ALREADY LOST THE GAME?

CAUSE IT BURNED, BURNED DOWN

AND NEVER STOPPED

BACK THEN IN APRIL 1986

STILL IT BURNS

HOW WILL WE EVER STOP

OUR BOAT that’s DRIFTIN

DOWNSTREAM ON THE STYX

AND IT BURNED

BURNED DOWN AND NEVER STOPPED

BACK THEN IN APRIL 1986

STILL IT BURNS

HOW WILL IT EVER STOP

IF WE IGNORE

THE BOMBS INCREASIN TICK
