[00:21.66]Goodbye circus wheel
[00:24.03]May you rest along the seas
[00:26.41]Well I've given you the fire of my youth
[00:29.15]And the triumph of my enemies
[00:31.83]And goodbye to fairweather home
[00:34.14]And your faithless factories
[00:36.70]I have given you the blood and the truth
[00:39.57]From the wounds that they laid on me
[00:41.94]And whatever they left
[00:43.50]I kept it for my own heart
[00:46.44]
[00:47.25]And the lonesome understand
[00:49.93]With the choirs in my head
[00:52.55]And we were orphans before
[00:54.61]We were ever the sons of regret
[00:56.11]My baby
[00:56.79]
[00:58.73]And on and on and on
[01:00.42]How the alphabet boys carry on
[01:02.66]We were orphans before
[01:04.41]We were ever the sons of the songs
[01:08.52]
[01:13.45]And now my lights, they never go down
[01:15.94]The watch the moon and stars for me now
[01:18.50]So you can find some local Libertine
[01:21.18]To take your daughters out on the town
[01:23.68]And I can feel it in my aging bones
[01:26.30]How the sound of the rain mixes up
[01:28.92]Into the fountains where I drank my hero's blood
[01:33.91]So I left you to find my very own hat full of rain
[01:38.59]
[01:39.40]And the lonesome understand
[01:42.03]With the choirs in my head
[01:43.60]And we were orphans before
[01:48.40]My baby
[01:50.40]And on and on and on
[01:52.52]How the alphabet boys carry on
[01:54.89]We were orphans before
[01:56.39]We were ever the sons of the songs
[01:59.07]Now I'm trying to keep it straight
[02:02.76]Learning all the streets and the alleyways
[02:04.38]And learning where they lead
[02:06.94]Now that I'm left alone here to drive
[02:10.87]But it's so hard to stand on your own
[02:13.24]Against mirror of glass, heart, and cold
[02:16.23]But the clothes I wore
[02:17.61]Just don't fit my soul anymore
[02:18.73]No the clothes I wore
[02:27.84]Just don't fit my soul anymore
[02:30.84]
[02:31.71]And the lonesome understand
[02:34.27]With the choirs in my head
[02:36.83]And we were orphans before
[02:38.32]We were ever the sons of regret
[02:39.70]My baby
[02:42.26]And on and on and on
[02:44.88]How the alphabet boys carry on
[02:47.19]We were orphans before
[02:48.56]We were ever the sons of your songs
[02:51.20]
[02:52.32]When we were young
[02:55.06]We were diamond Sinatras
[02:57.81]Like something I saw in a dream
[03:02.80]We kept our secrets and rules
[03:05.42]Locked up tight like a tomb
[03:08.04]Where violent dreamers lay
