Hope

<br>(Buck/Mills/Stipe/Leonard Cohen)<br><br><br><br>You want to go out Friday<br>And you want to go forever<br>You know that sounds childish<br>That you`ve dreamt of alligators<br>You hope that we are with you<br>And you hope you`re recoginezed<br>You want to go forever<br>You see it in my eyes<br>I`m lost in the confusion<br>And it doesn`t seem to matter<br>You really can`t believe it<br>And you hope it`s getting better<br><br>You want to trust the doctors<br>Their procedure is the best<br>But the last try was a failure<br>And the intern was a mess<br>And they did the same to Matthew<br>And he bled `til Sunday night<br>They`re saying don`t be frightened<br>But you`re weakened by the sight of it<br>You lock into a pattern<br>And you know that it`s the last ditch<br>You`re trying to see through it<br>And it doesn`t make sense<br>But they`re saying don`t be frightened<br>And they`re killing alligators<br>And they`re hog-tied<br>And accepting of the struggle<br><br>You want to trust religion<br>And you know it`s allegory<br>But the people who are followers<br>Have written their own story<br>So you look up to the heavens<br>And you hope that it`s a spaceship<br>And it`s something from your childhood<br>You`re thinking don`t be frightened<br><br>You want to climb the ladder<br>You want to see forever<br>You want to go out Friday<br>And you want to go forever<br>And you want to cross your DNA<br>To cross your DNA with something reptile<br>And you`re questioning the sciences<br>And questioning religion<br>You`re looking like an idiot<br>And you no longer care<br>And you want to bridge the schism,<br>A built-in mechanism to protect you<br>And you`re looking for salvation<br>And you`re looking for deliverance<br>You`re looking like an idiot<br>And you no longer care<br>`Cause you want to climb the ladder<br>You want to go forever<br>And you want to go out Friday<br>You want to go forever
