[00:00.34] 11.Flicker And Fail
[00:04.77] .
[00:09.84] He took a bus to meet me
[00:11.84] in a bar in a Tuscan hill
[00:14.09] Oh a sight I'd never seen,
[00:16.39] I believe in God still
[00:18.64] But you wouldn't be able to stop me
[00:21.57] if I feel like running away
[00:24.57] Wouldn't be able to stop me
[00:26.07] if I didn't want to stay
[00:28.76] .
[00:32.95]
[00:40.26] And the rain fell on the houses
[00:44.88] And on the late swaying trees
[00:49.88] It fell its fiercest on the skulls
[00:53.76] of the willingly deceived
[00:59.44] They put money in their hearts
[01:02.32]
[01:02.95] and God where their mouth is
[01:04.44] They put money in their hearts and God
[01:10.38] .
[01:20.44] Said he'd been sleeping lonely,
[01:22.63] spending nights under the stars
[01:24.88] Little darling, we're all lonely,
[01:27.26] we don't all show our scars
[01:29.07] It's my heart, and my burden,
[01:32.19] and I would never bring you down like that
[01:35.19] My heart, my burden,
[01:36.57] I would never bring you down with me
[01:39.63] .
[01:43.81] And the rain fell on the towers
[01:48.57] and on the late swaying trees
[01:53.44] And it hammered and it raged on us unwillingly
[02:03.07] And the believers were forewarned,
[02:05.13] and they ran into the storm
[02:07.26] And watched the earth's light flicker and fail
[02:12.69] Watched the earth's light flicker and fail
[02:17.69] Flicker and, flicker and fail
[02:23.32] .
[02:26.76] They put money in their hearts
[02:28.81] and God where their mouth is
[02:31.19] They put money in their hearts
[02:33.69] and God where their mouth is
[02:36.20] They put money in their hearts
[02:38.32] and God where their mouth is
[02:40.82] They put money in their hearts and God
