Lyrics

[00:03.62] "Intermission"
[00:05.16] Scissor Sisters
[00:06.88] Tyoka526
[00:09.93] When you're standing on the side of a hill
[00:12.18] Feeling like your day may be done
[00:14.89] Here it comes
[00:16.36] The strawberry smog
[00:17.92] Chasing away the sun
[00:20.95] Don't let those precious moments fool you
[00:23.57] Happiness is getting you down
[00:26.46] A rainbow never smiles or blinks
[00:29.04] It's just a candy-colored frown
[00:31.26]
[00:32.61] You were going on at half-past seven
[00:34.91] Now it's going on a quarter 'til nine
[00:37.19] All the angels want to know
[00:39.73] Are you lost or treading water?
[00:43.10] And you're going on your fifteenth bender
[00:45.72] But you've only got a matter of time
[00:47.96] Yes we've all got seeds to sow
[00:50.38] Not everyone's got lambs to slaughter
[00:52.91]
[00:53.68] When the night wind starts to turn
[00:56.03] Into the ocean breeze
[00:58.75] And the dew drops sting and burn
[01:01.32] Like angry honey bees
[01:04.11] That is when you hear the song falling from the sky
[01:09.54] Happy yesterday to all
[01:13.05] We were born to die
[01:14.91]
[01:15.33] Sometimes you're filled with the notion
[01:18.17] The afterlife's a moment away
[01:20.64] You want to tell someone the way that you feel
[01:23.21] But then you ain't got nothing to say
[01:26.09] You fight for freedom from devotion
[01:28.87] A battle that will always begin
[01:31.57] With somebody giving you a piece of advice;
[01:34.25] By the way you're living in sin
[01:35.40]
[01:37.38] Now there's never gonna be an intermission
[01:39.86] But there'll always be a closing night
[01:42.34] Never entertain those visions
[01:44.95] Lest you may have packed your baggage
[01:48.12] First impressions are cheap auditions
[01:50.68] Situations are long goodbyes
[01:53.22] Truth so often to living dormant
[01:55.87] Good luck walks and bullshit flies
[01:57.70]
[01:58.69] When the headlights guide your way
[02:03.84] You know the place is right
[02:04.37] When the treetops sing and sway
[02:06.41] Don't go to sleep tonight
[02:09.06] That is when you see the sign
[02:11.92] Luminous and high:
[02:14.46] Tomorrow's not what it used to be
[02:17.21] We were born to die
[02:25.36] Happy yesterday to all
[02:28.12] We were born to die
