Lyrics

[00:16.87] I don't no what brings you 'round again
[00:20.67]
[00:24.72] I don't no what sends you on your way
[00:28.70] When smart
[00:29.75] It's not for me to say
[00:32.94] There's a bright light right around the bend
[00:36.86]
[00:40.70] See it bathe us both in that fluorescent glow
[00:45.70] So monstrous and final
[00:48.31]
[00:49.80] So monstrous and final
[00:52.28]
[00:56.79] I could see you through the dirty waves
[01:00.92]
[01:04.69] Smiling like a vampire
[01:07.56] As you disappeared beneath the whitecaps
[01:12.80] But a man can't live for what he saves
[01:17.08]
[01:20.84] I could feel my toes curl through the yellow
[01:24.92] Sand as I watched you slip away
[01:28.18]
[01:28.87] Once again the politics of common sense
[01:34.09]
[01:34.78] You do and I don't
[01:36.90]
[01:37.96] I could tell you it's not true but what's the use
[01:43.10]
[01:43.76] It's automatic
[01:45.63]
[01:46.37] Caught in between
[01:52.81]
[02:07.75] Was a star that once burned crazy red
[02:11.61]
[02:15.47] An ashen globe that spins with
[02:18.26] Dead momentum lost in absolute space
[02:22.65]
[02:23.76] Even as this wavelength pulses dread
[02:27.69]
[02:31.73] Linger like the cold burn of electric shocks
[02:36.64] So slow to fade away
[02:39.08]
[02:39.72] Once again the fire works of bad ideas
[02:45.11]
[02:45.69] You will and I won't
[02:47.43]
[02:48.79] Light the sky with long-gone hate that
[02:52.47] Comes from where it's automatic
[02:56.54]
[02:57.35] Caught in between
