Distance - WHY? |
| [00:21.95] |
You wanted an effigy of me so true it bleated |
| [00:25.36] |
Each hair a filament of glass formed while heated |
| [00:28.68] |
Assumed you'd see bright blooms and fruit trees |
| [00:31.46] |
With the root things weeded |
| [00:32.84] |
What your new scene needed |
| [00:35.10] |
So that's what we did |
| [00:36.98] |
What was unclean was played and sung |
| [00:39.17] |
Then framed and hung till lame and numb |
| [00:42.09] |
And then repeated |
| [00:43.40] |
'Cause that's when the fame will come |
| [00:45.72] |
And the game is won |
| [00:47.01] |
And your name is rung in every ear like a secret |
| [00:51.07] |
I gotta keep my distance |
| [00:52.85] |
To withstand the silence of you missing |
| [00:55.30] |
When you're not there to listen to this nonsense |
| [00:58.69] |
Keep my distance to withstand the silence of you missing |
| [01:02.58] |
When you're not there |
| [01:10.04] |
Now I'm pushing past 30 |
| [01:11.80] |
If I bow out as the years close in |
| [01:14.46] |
Abandon my sound man and band and them |
| [01:17.37] |
I'll give no blushing curtsey |
| [01:19.26] |
To the proud shouts of close kin |
| [01:21.86] |
I ground it into ground and then some friends |
| [01:24.93] |
Just drop a dusty curtain on the loud crowd when the show ends |
| [01:29.58] |
And end the whole thing where no men found me |
| [01:32.48] |
I'm so f**king thirsty |
| [01:33.97] |
In a cold cloud only of my own |
| [01:36.28] |
And lonely worsens surrounds me |
| [01:38.94] |
I gotta keep my distance to withstand the silence of you missing |
| [01:43.22] |
When you're not there to listen to this nonsense |
| [01:46.64] |
Keep my distance to withstand the silence of you missing |
| [01:50.52] |
When you're not there |
| [01:53.75] |
Men and women might yet quote his modicum of the truth |
| [02:01.02] |
But never will they get right close to Jonathan Avram wolf |
| [02:08.25] |
'Cause I gotta keep my distance to |
| [02:10.32] |
Withstand the silence of you missing |
| [02:12.78] |
When you're not there to listen to this nonsense |
| [02:16.16] |
Keep my distance to withstand the silence of you missing |
| [02:20.07] |
When you're not there |
