[00:00.21] |
The night falls hard on sunken dreams. |
[00:06.19] |
The sorry splendor rots and gleams. |
[00:12.39] |
Patrons bark and angels jeer. |
[00:18.30] |
The band plays loud and they don't hear. |
[00:24.57] |
All they love is black and white. |
[00:30.74] |
Don't see the color of the light. |
[00:36.72] |
Lost their spirit and bled their souls. |
[00:42.55] |
With crimson shovels digging holes. |
[00:48.64] |
Oh you know I don't really wanna live in this strange world. |
[00:54.19] |
I need somebody beside me to live in this strange land. |
[01:00.30] |
I need somebody to hide me away from these cruel times. |
[01:06.36] |
Don't tell me to hold out for a miracle. |
[01:08.82] |
I've been here for so long. |
[01:12.46] |
Somebody just come and take me where the skies are blue. |
[01:18.55] |
When you just want to fly away it's the sky blues. |
[01:22.55] |
Men and horses line the street. |
[01:28.43] |
Corrupted lives left incomplete. |
[01:34.36] |
Afraid of shadows on the wall. |
[01:40.36] |
Cast by the fingers of the tall. |
[01:46.60] |
Suits of power, white and black. |
[01:52.72] |
Bring velvet ruins on their backs. |
[01:58.42] |
And through the laughter and the moans. |
[02:04.54] |
It's just the thieves that feel at home. |
[02:10.92] |
Oh you know I don't really wanna live in this strange world. |
[02:16.22] |
I need somebody beside me to live in this strange land. |
[02:22.30] |
I need somebody to hide me away from these cruel times. |
[02:28.43] |
Don't tell me to hold out for a miracle. |
[02:30.71] |
I've been here for so long. |
[02:34.49] |
Somebody just come and take me where the skies are blue. |
[02:40.61] |
When you just want to fly away it's the sky blues. |
[02:49.31] |
I need to get higher. |
[02:52.87] |
High above and far away. |
[02:55.84] |
Keep the clouds so dark and grey, |
[02:58.64] |
below me. |
[03:01.42] |
I need to get farther. |
[03:04.95] |
And find a place to start again. |
[03:07.96] |
To laugh at jokes and play pretend. |
[03:10.98] |
I wonder where you are. |
[03:14.23] |
I'm empty. |
[03:17.09] |
And floating like I'm deep in space. |
[03:20.20] |
Away from every kind of place, |
[03:22.83] |
come find me. |
[03:26.32] |
But sadly. |
[03:29.30] |
The feeling ends, I'm falling now. |
[03:32.28] |
I'm fading back into the crowd. |
[03:35.31] |
I've only come so far. |
[03:39.29] |
The band is tired, their throats are dry. |
[03:45.13] |
But still they play, I wonder why. |
[03:51.22] |
They see those shadows on the wall. |
[03:57.07] |
The cracks run deep as pieces fall. |
[04:03.17] |
Can we divine a better end. |
[04:09.29] |
And be a better kind of friend. |
[04:15.28] |
If not I doubt we shall survive. |
[04:21.47] |
I just want the truth to come alive. |
[04:27.84] |
And I sure don't really wanna live in this strange world. |
[04:32.87] |
I need somebody beside me to live in this strange land. |
[04:39.04] |
I need somebody to hide me away from these cruel times. |
[04:45.11] |
Don't tell me to hold out for a miracle. |
[04:47.43] |
I've been here for so long. |
[04:51.25] |
Somebody just come and take me where the skies are blue. |
[04:57.39] |
When you just want to fly away it's the sky blues. |
[05:04.82] |
