Some Other Time
Adolph Green Lyrics

Let's not talk about bombs and the brain impulses of severed limbs
We should avoid discussing the horrors of war and the violent aftermath that results from it.

you will always subtract your arms from my arms
You will never be fully invested or involved in our relationship.

someone always interrupts us when we talk
Our communication is constantly hindered and disrupted by outside forces.

so I'm gonna draw this evening's line before my wash hangs on it for everyone to see
I will establish a boundary to protect our privacy before I hang my laundry on it for others to view.

it's very bad luck to draw the line on the night before the world ends
It is considered unlucky to set boundaries when the end of the world is imminent.

we can draw the line some other time
We can set boundaries and establish guidelines for our relationship at a later date.

this midnight I will turn into a beer I will dream of you between nightmares and wars and toss and turn
I will drink myself into a stupor and have troubled dreams about you amidst the chaos and destruction of war.

ain't you gonna take me for a ride drink and drive down to the l.a. river bed
Won't you take me on a reckless adventure to the river at night?

I'll make no mistakes and I'll behave
I promise to be on my best behavior and not cause any trouble during our outing.
