You've just undressed the president, demoralized the queen
You took every shred of dignity and tossed it to the wind
Now you're crying out for change, hope you can cope with what it brings
The end of the beginning is a fairly fearful thing
Evolutions, revolutions have swept a few aside
Yesterday is cast away and drifting on the tide
My baby girl, slip away, we'll shed this sense of doom
And all the good that's gone will come back soon
Come back soon
We've got one shot at immortality, be good to get it right
Find a shortcut on the trail of life that leads right to the light
Without weapons, maybe we'd feel free to walk the streets at night
A minor observation and a major oversight
Like holy wars, now there's a cause that makes no sense at all
What kind of god would not be broken-hearted at it all?
My baby girl, slip away, we'll shed this sense of doom
And all the good that's gone will come back soon
Come back soon
It's like you've lost the sun and everyone is trembling and scared
Nobody knows what's coming next, so grin and get prepared
My baby girl, slip away, we'll shed this sense of doom
And all the good that's gone will come back soon
My baby girl, slip away, we'll step out of the gloom
And all the good that's gone will come back soon
Come back soon
