{Intro} {Verse 1} Inside the lamps are burning Outside becomes the night Fire burning in the kitchen I’ve seen beyond the realm of sight Cup of coffee cream and sugar Who left the TV on? We’ll let it run forever or until the picture’s gone {Chorus} I’ve seen this happen before I pray I won’t again The secret inner workings of the politics of women and men {Verse2} Oh, I say to you from my head Expect not what is mine Oh, I say to you from my heart You’re mine Another night, another lie We run but never hide The tools we made from our own thoughts Time’s never on our side {Chorus} I’ve heard this all before I guess I will again These are the secret inner workings of the politics of women and men {Refrain} Women and men You and I Women and men Women and men You and I La la la la la la la Women and men Women and men You and I Women and men Women and men You and I La la la la la la la {Outro}
