WORSE ON THE WAY Peter Blegvad and Andy Partridge

Lyrics

Worse on the way
that's what they say
bad as it may seem now.
What seems like work and sorrow today
will seem tomorrow like pleasure and play.

Why should we walk?
Why should we crawl?
Why should we move at all?
Why should we talk
when nothing is said?
Tomorrow the living
will envy the dead.

As blind as a window
as closed as a door
as high as a ceiling
as low as a floor.
Pestlience, death, famine, and war -
It's helpful to know
just what life has in store.

Worse on the way,
a curse on the day.
Another to lay on night.
Only black rain,
an oncoming train,
more tunnel to come
at the end of the light.
