[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]
