|
Just get in there |
|
Gas up the car |
|
If you're gonna go |
|
You'll need fuel for the road |
|
But if you stay |
|
Forget the past |
|
Things that haunt you |
|
They never last |
|
Oh but can they last |
|
Just one more day |
|
Somebody light a candle |
|
Light my way |
|
Like those two who crawled out |
|
From the devil's claws |
|
And then they saw the stars |
|
From the center of the Earth |
|
Or crashing through the atmosphere |
|
The answer unclear |
|
Though written in stone |
|
And when those break |
|
There's nothing but the great unknown |
|
It was a long wait |
|
And a walk down an aisle |
|
He placed his hands on my head |
|
And said "Bless you, my child" |
|
Sweet chrism crossed |
|
And incense burned |
|
Throughout the ages Amen was heard |
|
Are we fools who stay our fear |
|
Declaring one desire most dear |
|
Like those two who crawled out |
|
From the devil's claws |
|
And then they saw the stars |
|
From the center of the Earth |
|
Or crashing through the atmosphere |
|
The answer unclear |
|
Though written in stone |
|
And when those break |
|
There's nothing but the great unknown |
|
Teachers line up in rows |
|
To tell me things I already know |
|
As I separate the wheat from the chaff |
|
Until there's no wheat |
|
No laughter left |
|
The sun and moon have disappeared |
|
Might some light enter here? |
|
Like those two who crawled out |
|
From the devil's claws |
|
And then they saw the stars |
|
From the center of the Earth |
|
Or crashing through the atmosphere |
|
The answer unclear |
|
Though written in stone |
|
I am afraid of the great unknown |
