Lyrics

What have we here – another situation comedy

Enter hope – blind faith looking for prosperity

Open up your eyes to blinders on either side

Open, open, open, open up and let them try

Stop me, stop me, stop me before you leave

Stop me, stop me in this Long Love Century

You toy with me – I’ll be your soldier of wood

I am the little train that never could

So, I’ve got some problems with you

I’ve got them with me, too

Just give me one more day in this Long Love Century

Stop me, stop me, stop me before you leave

Stop me, stop me in this Long Love Century

You’re building fires under me

Provocation set me free

You’re building fires under me

In this Long Love Century

I once was lost, but now am I found by you

I once was free, but now am I bound by you

Nothing’s free, and nothing comes quite that easily

I guess it’s just another day in this Long Love Century

Stop me, stop me, stop me before you leave

Stop me, stop me in this Long Love Century

You’re building fires under me

Provocation set me free

You’re building fires under me

In this Long Love Century
