we had shared our company, talked about reality in terms we understand
we built the entire universe around the minds of boys and girls
and touched it with our hands
until the structures we created fell apart desintigrated

hey charles, we didn't do it right
hey karl, we couldn't pull it off
hey charles, there's something wrong with us
hey chuck, we had to give it up

walked our heads so young and gay into the promised land

rising and falling with the tides and this is where we stand
hey charles, we didn't do it right
hey karl, we couldn't pull it off
hey charles, there's something wrong with us
hey chuck, we had to give it up
