How Long? (Death May Be Your Santa Claus)

How long 'fore you realise you swing?
How long 'fore you realise you sting?
From the good to the bad to the ugly change
How long 'fore you start to rearrange?
How long, how long 'fore you realise that all's strange?

How long will it take to turn you around?
How long will it take to bend you down?
It makes you believe in the (real) exchange
How long will it take for me to rearrange?
How long, how long 'fore you realise that all's strange?

Well I don't care what the people may say
I don't give a - anyway
I don't care what the people may say
I don't care what the people may say
I don't give a - anyway
I don't care what the people may say

How long 'fore you realise what you missed?
How long 'fore we get out and may get pissed?
You get all the books from the Corn Exchange
Really mad at this outrage
How long, how long 'fore you realise that all's strange?

I don't care what the people may say
I don't give a - anyway
I don't care what the people may say
I don't care what the people may say
I don't give a - anyway
I don't care what the people may say

How long?
How long?
How long?
How long?
Won't you tell me how long?
Won't you tell me how long?
Won't you tell me how long?
Won't you tell me how long?
How long will it take?
How long will it take?
How long will it take? (yeah)
How long will it take?
