[00:00.00]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
