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