[00:00.72]White Lies - From the Stars
[00:02.27]I saw a friend that i once knew at a funeral,
[00:05.52]
[00:09.45]He took the time out to be seen.
[00:12.87]
[00:17.94]His eyes kept glancing to the hour hand on the gold watch,
[00:23.05]
[00:26.11]that he'd been given by a magazine.
[00:29.10]
[00:34.50]He didn't cry when the priest gave the sermon,
[00:37.68]
[00:42.82]Just pulled up the woolen collar on his fleece.
[00:45.87]
[00:51.05]Crossed his arms, gave a sigh and checked the time again,
[00:54.86]
[00:59.29]As he sat inches from the wife of the deceased.
[01:03.53]
[01:06.10]He catches raindrops on his window,
[01:08.30]it reminds him how he falls,
[01:11.36]
[01:14.17]From the stars back to our cities,
[01:16.10]where we've never felt so small
[01:18.91]
[01:22.67]Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands,
[01:26.98]
[01:29.97]He thinks how quick the water's rising
[01:31.97]as another raindrop lands
[01:34.34]
[01:54.96]He took a chauffeur driven car back to his hotel,
[01:59.02]
[02:02.76]Passing through the sick streets where he was born
[02:06.19]
[02:10.33]He said "Driver, what's happened to these buildings?
[02:13.51]
[02:18.32]They all look run down and so alone."
[02:21.97]
[02:26.34]He took a shower in the bathroom of his penthouse,
[02:30.22]
[02:34.31]Put the Do not Disturb on his door
[02:37.37]
[02:42.04]When the maid came in the morning
[02:44.80]
[02:49.67]She found him shivering on the bedroom floor
[02:52.86]
[02:56.72]He catches raindrops on his window,
[02:58.28]
[02:58.91]it reminds him how he falls,
[03:01.09]
[03:04.53]From the stars back to our cities,
[03:06.46]where we've never felt so small
[03:09.14]
[03:12.89]Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands,
[03:17.26]
[03:19.97]He thinks how quick the water's rising
[03:22.10]as another raindrop lands
[03:24.59]
[03:27.64]He catches raindrops on his window,
[03:29.83]it reminds him how he falls,
[03:33.38]
[03:35.69]From the stars back to our cities,
[03:37.78]where we've never felt so small
[03:40.86]
[03:44.15]Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands,
[03:48.83]
[03:51.25]He thinks how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands
[03:57.03]
