Temporary
Lyrics: Walser in the Snow

dear mr. god
would you tell me quick
what’s it all about
‘cause i’m feeling sick
i’m getting old
or so i’m told
and if that’s a joke
it won’t last for long
temporary, temporary
a summer shower, it’ so scary
temporary, temporary
like a flower in january
dear mr. god
i do love you too
but i need to know
just a thing or two
we all love
and we all fight
but it doesn’t make sense if we’re all going to die
temporary, temporary
a summer shower, it’ so scary
temporary, temporary
like a flower in january
life is good, it’s understood, we sent a man up to the moon
date a girl, after school, try to marry her in june
everything will work out fine, all we need’s a little time
all my life is oh so scary ‘cause we are so temporary, temporary, temporary...
dear mr. god
would you tell me quick
what’s it all about
‘cause I’m feeling sick
i’m getting old
or so i’m told
and if that’s a joke
it won’t last for long
temporary, temporary
a summer shower, it’ so scary
temporary, temporary
like a flower in january
