You think you've come so far? |
|
You think you learned along the way? |
|
You're better off by far |
|
Than where you stood just yesterday? |
|
You say you've got the scars |
|
There's nothing left to say |
|
You've got to look beyond |
|
Go make some ripples on your pond |
|
We are the things we sing |
|
All wrapped up with bows and strings |
|
You think you're everything? |
|
Accept the sense of substance over style |
|
And take away the hype |
|
Take away the sad affairs |
|
Listen to your lies |
|
Can't you see it now there's no-one there? |
|
We are the things we choose |
|
Come walk a mile in this man's shoes |
|
And if you're still confused |
|
Go learn to sing some hybrid blues |
|
What have you got to lose |
|
Except your sense of ignorance and pride? |
|
And take away the hype |
|
Take away the sad affairs |
|
Listen to your lies |
|
Can't you see it now there's no-one there? |
|
I can't tell you any more |
|
I can't tell you what to think or say |
|
Take away the hard lines |
|
Can't you see it any other way? |
|
But I still don't hear that inherent cry |
|
From "Dear old Stockholm" to the "My-Oh-My" |
|
Make it |
|
Lose it |
|
Make it |
|
Lose it |
|
I still don't hear that plaintive call |
|
From the sacred mountains to the wailing wall |
|
Faithless |
|
Shameless |
|
Faceless |
|
Hopeless |
|
Now I loved me a woman, don't mean a thing |
|
I loved me a woman, gave her everything |
|
I got stones in my pathway |
|
And I railed at the moon |
|
There's a light at your doorway |
|
Guess who spoke too soon? |
|
Singing: |
|
"Take me |
|
Use me |
|
Love me" |
|
But I still don't hear that primal scream |
|
Of a rich man's nightmare or a poor boy's dream |
|
Have I lived too long? |
|
Have I lived at all? |
|
If life's a journey, come on |
|
Catch me when I fall |
|
And you're lying there, like the bride stripped bare |
|
In the virtual madness, in my my dark despair |
|
Singing: |
|
"Hurt me |
|
Hate me |
|
Hear me |
|
Help me" |
|
Is this hybrid offspring just a high-class whore |
|
Or a pale young virgin and wild old boar? |
|
Pointless (I got the money) |
|
Tasteless (I got the money) |
|
Thoughtless |
