Serenity

Baby
We're not looking for eternity
So smile now
While you're looking for this serenity

He dosses out here in doorways
Caught between wars
Tells us something is coming
Won't reveal more
She shuffles up close beside him
And kisses his ear
I guess all our time is running
Running on fear

And it goes around
Round, around again
Like a magic circle
Till it comes to the end

Baby
We're not looking for eternity
So smile now
While you're looking for serenity

Out from the marble palaces
Kings and queens Will rejoice
Their importance of being
Their importance of choice
And as they swung Mussolini
Like a chime in the breeze
The pope blessed his children
In a sea of sleaze

And it comes around
Round, around again
Like a magic circle
Till it comes to the end

Baby
We're not looking for eternity
So smile now
While you're looking for serenity

[Solo]

And It still flowers
In springtime
Dogs howl at the moon
Now the funeral is leaving
To the general's own tune
All the rich and the famous
Don't know who I am
The jokers and the jugglers
Even the prince of Siam

And it goes around
Round and round again
Like a magic circle
Till it comes to the end

Baby
We're not looking for eternity
Yeah, yeah
So smile now
While you're looking for serenity
Oh yeah

Baby
A little faith or charity
So smile now
While you're looking for serenity

Oh Baby
We're not looking for eternity
Hey, hey yeah
So smile now
While you're looking for eternity
Hey, hey yeah yeah

Baby
A little faith or charity
