Simple Minds - Sign O' The Times lyrics

Oh yeah In france a skinny man Died of a big disease with a litte name By chance his girlfriend came across a needle And soon she did the same At homethere are seventeen-year-old boys And their idea of fun Is being in a gang called the disciples High on crack, totin' a machine gun Time time Hurricane annie ripped the ceiling off a church And k**ed everyone inside You turn on the telly and every other story Is tellin' you somebody died Sister k**ed here baby cuz she could affort to feed it And we're sending people to the moon In september my cousin tried reefer for the very first time Now he's doing horse, it's june Time time It's silly, no? when a rocket ship explodes And everybody still wants to fly Some say a man ain't happy Unless a man truly dies Oh why Time time Baby make a speech, star wars fly Neighbours just shine it on But if a night falls and a bomb falls Will anybody see the dawn Time time It's silly, no? when a rocket ship explodes And everybody still wants to fly Some say a man ain't happy Unless a man truly dies Oh why Time time Sign o' the times mess with your mind Hurry before it's too late Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby We'll call him hate...if it's a boy Time times Time time Words and music : prince (c) controversy music, ascap 1987 reproduced without permission
