[00:07.96]The living word I thought you died
[00:11.63]I wrote a song that said you tried
[00:15.44]But couldn't live your life inside
[00:18.87]This world of ours.
[00:23.33]And when your pockets fill with sand
[00:27.03]Every hour passes with demands
[00:31.14]That go unmet, with empty hands that follow them
[00:39.00]And you stay every day
[00:40.51]Trying to make it go away
[00:42.34]Don't go.
[00:46.26]And the things that you say
[00:48.22]Like you're acting in a play
[00:50.19]You know?
[00:53.35]And I saw you in a hall
[00:56.87]With a pair of horns atop your head
[01:00.80]But that was just someones's mistake
[01:04.69]A translation they had missed
[01:06.67]Just one more on a long list
[01:08.60]Of foreign phrases that they had misread
[01:12.44]And it happens all the time
[01:16.19]It's a slow and steady grind
[01:18.48]That leaves everyone behind
[01:20.16]Til it's forgotten and it's fine,fine,fine...
[01:36.83]I froze my eyes were red and dry
[01:40.80]The summer night went slowly by
[01:44.50]As hums and buzzes failed to help me
[01:48.45]Sleep again.
[01:52.41]And I heard tell that the precious stones
[01:56.12]That shook the earth and rattled bones
[02:00.12]Would some day make a fitting home
[02:03.77]Somewhere pretty
[02:07.63]And you stay every day
[02:09.27]Trying to make it go away
[02:11.20]Don't go.
[02:14.95]And the things that you say
[02:16.73]Like you're acting in a play
[02:18.91]You know?
[02:22.08]And I saw you in a hall
[02:25.83]With a pair of horns atop your head
[02:29.74]But that was just someones's mistake
[02:33.59]A translation they had missed
[02:35.58]Just one more on a long list
[02:37.41]Of foreign phrases that they had misread
[02:41.27]And it happens all the time
[02:45.18]It's a slow and steady grind
[02:47.21]That leaves everyone behind
[02:49.04]Til it's forgotten and it's fine,fine,fine...
