| [00:07.96] | The living word I thought you died |
| [00:11.63] | I wrote a song that said you tried |
| [00:15.44] | But couldn't live your life inside |
| [00:18.87] | This world of ours. |
| [00:23.33] | And when your pockets fill with sand |
| [00:27.03] | Every hour passes with demands |
| [00:31.14] | That go unmet, with empty hands that follow them |
| [00:39.00] | And you stay every day |
| [00:40.51] | Trying to make it go away |
| [00:42.34] | Don't go. |
| [00:46.26] | And the things that you say |
| [00:48.22] | Like you're acting in a play |
| [00:50.19] | You know? |
| [00:53.35] | And I saw you in a hall |
| [00:56.87] | With a pair of horns atop your head |
| [01:00.80] | But that was just someones's mistake |
| [01:04.69] | A translation they had missed |
| [01:06.67] | Just one more on a long list |
| [01:08.60] | Of foreign phrases that they had misread |
| [01:12.44] | And it happens all the time |
| [01:16.19] | It's a slow and steady grind |
| [01:18.48] | That leaves everyone behind |
| [01:20.16] | Til it's forgotten and it's fine,fine,fine... |
| [01:36.83] | I froze my eyes were red and dry |
| [01:40.80] | The summer night went slowly by |
| [01:44.50] | As hums and buzzes failed to help me |
| [01:48.45] | Sleep again. |
| [01:52.41] | And I heard tell that the precious stones |
| [01:56.12] | That shook the earth and rattled bones |
| [02:00.12] | Would some day make a fitting home |
| [02:03.77] | Somewhere pretty |
| [02:07.63] | And you stay every day |
| [02:09.27] | Trying to make it go away |
| [02:11.20] | Don't go. |
| [02:14.95] | And the things that you say |
| [02:16.73] | Like you're acting in a play |
| [02:18.91] | You know? |
| [02:22.08] | And I saw you in a hall |
| [02:25.83] | With a pair of horns atop your head |
| [02:29.74] | But that was just someones's mistake |
| [02:33.59] | A translation they had missed |
| [02:35.58] | Just one more on a long list |
| [02:37.41] | Of foreign phrases that they had misread |
| [02:41.27] | And it happens all the time |
| [02:45.18] | It's a slow and steady grind |
| [02:47.21] | That leaves everyone behind |
| [02:49.04] | Til it's forgotten and it's fine,fine,fine... |
