[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... |
