We Understand Each Other — текст песни (Todd Rundgren)

We understand each other

Bull!

You hear some distant drummer play

I think we understand each other

Have you no else to offer?

Poor boy!

I have expenses to defray

I hope we understand each other

We have a problem

Yes, but its not that we

Dont understand each other



Oh brother!

When they say "understand"

They gotta mean fairyland

For twenty tons of silver

She sold him into stir

And when it gets his freedom back

He throws it away over her

When he says "understand"

He must mean some other girl



Ill never comprehend

My putrid taste in men

Its not fair I love

Each little hair and he

Dont even care about me

When she says "understand"

Must mean some other man



Our preconceptions to retain

Were obliged to exclaim

We understand each other



We hear some distant drummer play

Must mean we understand each other

Oh brother!



If theres a problem

Well admit it

Not that we dont understand each other

Each other



When they say "understand"

Its like wendy and peter pan

Have you ever met somebody

More self-involved than he?

This has got to be a miracle

The man has divine empathy



What could be wrong with me?

I know his repartee

Insincere

Hes down

There, Im up here

But whenever hes near



Its some kind of divine empathy

When they say "understand"

Smells like something else to me

Were talking sleight of hand

Each others mind

We read so well

We have no time to know ourselves

We understand each other



Though we dont even know ourselves

We think we understand each other

Though we dont even know ourselves

We think we understand each other

Though we dont know ourselves

I hope we understand each other

Each other
