Working Understanding

(album: Modern Madness - 1988)

We've got a working understanding
A parasol or a thought with an embrace
In my life there have been things that I've abandoned
But somehow this time I know it's not the case

When my thoughts turn to twine
You opened the door
Like a silhouette sailing
To an unknown shore
There will be no turning back
No time to detour
Along the way
'Cause we've got a working understanding

We've got a working understanding
[?] a pawn before a king
In these times I know it's hard to move in [?]
But I can't ignore the things that love can bring

When my thoughts turn to twine
You opened the door
Like a silhouette sailing
To an unknown shore
There will be no turning back
No time to detour
Along the way
'Cause we've got a working

See the jokers, see the ones in pain
We both know that this world's insane
Better hold onto what we've got
Lord knows that we've got a lot

And when my thoughts turn to twine
You opened the door
Like a silhouette sailing
To an unknown shore
There will be no turning back
No time to detour
Along the way
'Cause we've got it working
We've got it working
We've got it working understanding
