[00:38.19] My world is stirring sickly
[00:42.54] spits out our voices singing,
[00:46.68] "Sha la la, oh, no no,"
[00:50.51] to kingdom come so slightly.
[00:53.88] Here in the void in your place,
[00:57.82] I twitch and tweak illusions
[01:01.27] to sit and stare so blankly
[01:05.18] into our whole confused house.
[01:08.90]
[01:09.70] Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeing?
[01:12.79] Where do you go when I'm around?
[01:16.25] What have I done? What have I lost that's so defeating?
[01:20.53] And have the nerve to wear the crown?
[01:23.77]
[01:24.44] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[01:27.88] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[01:31.56] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[01:35.34] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[01:37.84]
[01:38.54] Some unguarded room:
[01:40.75] a smoky figure fills me full,
[01:44.55] makes my head swell and move.
[01:48.68] My family kneels at the pew,
[01:51.65] They nod, "We believe in what you're doing!"
[01:55.62] I feel you rise above me,
[01:58.55] the western landscape's towering,
[02:02.54] and from my shell of a body
[02:06.21] the flowers blossom for picking.
[02:09.82]
[02:10.52] Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeing?
[02:13.71] Where do you go when I'm around?
[02:17.09] What have I done, what have I got that's so defeating?
[02:21.41] And have the nerve to wear the crown?
[02:24.40]
[02:25.16] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[02:28.80] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[02:32.43] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[02:36.38] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[02:40.25] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[02:43.96] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[02:47.75] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[02:51.56] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[02:55.04]
[02:55.81] I've waited and waited for someone to take it.
[03:02.33] Don't fight it, don't bother an inch for another.
[03:10.10] Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together.
[03:17.19] I've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing.
[03:22.02] I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction.
[03:26.01] I've painted your problems but found them attractive.
[03:29.75] Now I've been leaning towards a life far more caring,
[03:33.37] thrown back through the dark with your eyes as my candles,
[03:37.22] and your life, and my life, directions can render.
[03:40.78] And all of a sudden you left me to handle
[03:44.73] the reasons that never forbid me to step out.
[03:48.56] And somehow or somewhere I found out the secret -
[03:52.60] To say it aloud without actually breathing.
[03:57.79]
