There is a car parked where the block begins |
| [00:25.17] |
And there are people singing praises |
| [00:27.97] |
Say it's all because of him |
| [00:32.92] |
There is a bird perched on a frayed wet wire |
| [00:38.42] |
And his voice sings out for a lover |
| [00:40.94] |
But it's covered by the choir |
| [00:46.82] |
Voices reaching way beyond the rafters |
| [00:50.34] |
With devotion they perform these sacred tasks |
| [00:54.18] |
They cross themselves and offer up their checkbooks |
| [00:57.97] |
Slight suffering is not too much to ask |
| [01:00.75] |
Besides we all are making money |
| [01:04.46] |
And we are all ****ing alone |
| [01:08.27] |
And we don't know what we are doing |
| [01:11.93] |
Maybe just buying us some hope |
| [01:15.72] |
Because we know that we are lonely |
| [01:19.58] |
Oh yeah, lonely that's for sure |
| [01:23.48] |
And the older ones are coughing |
| [01:27.47] |
And the older ones they are dying |
| [01:31.66] |
Maybe we are all dying |
| [01:55.86] |
I pass a graveyard on my way to work |
| [02:01.50] |
Today I saw two dozen white roses |
| [02:04.09] |
On a fresh new mound of dirt |
| [02:09.27] |
And I wondered about the occupant |
| [02:14.98] |
When the darkness finally swallowed him |
| [02:17.29] |
Was he calm and content |
| [02:22.85] |
Or was he sweating in a struggle to keep breathing |
| [02:26.96] |
Ripping apart the sheets that dressed his bed |
| [02:30.73] |
Crying out loud for someone to help him |
| [02:34.46] |
And collapsing on his back all pale and dead |
| [02:37.12] |
Maybe it's me who's this unstable |
| [02:40.55] |
Always obsessed about the end |
| [02:43.82] |
Why can't I let what happens happen? |
| [02:47.79] |
And just enjoy the time I spend |
| [02:50.99] |
Oh how I wish it was so easy |
| [02:54.25] |
But when there is no point to anything |
| [02:57.72] |
You know it gets a bit confusing |
| [03:01.31] |
Why is that I keep going? |
| [03:04.98] |
Why is that we keep going? |
