[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
