They Might Be Giants - Women & Men lyrics

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

About 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 & men

Women & men

Women & men

Women & men

(women & men) bringing with them messages of love

And every where they go love will grow (love will grow)

(women & men) when you see the faces of the women

And the men, you too will know (you will know)

Women & men have crossed the ocean

They now begin to pour

Out from the boat and up the shore

Two by two they enter the jungle

And 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 & men

Women & men

Women & men

Women & men
