Women And Men Lyrics

   "Women and Men"
by They Might Be Giants
 from Flood (c) 1990

When the ship runs out of ocean
and the vessel runs aground
Land's where we know the boat is found
Now there's nothing unexpected 
'bout the water giving out
Land's not a word we have to shout
 
But there's something beside the shoreline
Moving across the beachhead
Coming up from the shipwreck
Making as if to say
Women and Men
Women and Men
Women and Men

Chorus:  Bringing with them messages of love
         and everywhere they go
         Love will grow
         Women and Men
         When you see the faces of the women and the men
         You too will know
 
Women and men, they cross the ocean
and now begin to pour
Out from the boat and up the shore
Two by two they enter the jungleand soon they number more
Three by three as well as four by four
 
Soon the stream of people gets wider
Then it becomes a river
River becomes an ocean
Carrying ships that bear
 
Women and Men
Women and Men
