Lyrics

[07:20.43] as i have not trusted
[07:22.86] i have not hoped
[07:26.16] in the bleak alleyways
[07:30.17] and the secondhand streets
[07:33.54] where misery waits
[07:37.13] and the turn of your hand
[07:42.12] as i have no believed
[07:44.57] so i have not seen
[07:47.01] the uselessness
[07:49.49] the pettiness
[07:52.32] and in by the clouds are the sun and the stars
[07:58.87] by the walls and the rain
[08:03.60] i shall not come to you for tea
[08:08.77] as you may come back home with me
[08:13.91] not believing and not seeing the facts
[08:18.45] yapping into our face
[08:24.22] alternate fire
[08:26.80] alternate smoke
[08:29.48] i shall not wake
[08:32.08] at seven or eight
[08:35.04] as all the hours
[08:37.17] are now too late
[08:40.37] with the lead weights motionless
[08:45.73] i spy with my little eye
[08:55.90] you and i my love
[08:58.63] you and i
[09:00.92] with our backs to each other
[09:06.19] chewing on shadows
[09:08.65] dissecting the lights
[09:11.45] that their brightness might be classified
[09:16.38] and then immasculated
[09:21.29] and finally killed
