Lyrics

[00:21.77] I shake through the wreckage for signs of life
[00:28.94] Scrolling through the paragraphs
[00:32.82] Clicking through the photographs
[00:36.66]
[00:38.30] I wish I could make sense of what we do
[00:45.53] Burning down the capitals
[00:49.37] The wisest of the animals
[00:53.18]
[00:55.28] Who are you? What are you living for?
[01:03.58] Tooth for tooth, maybe we'll go one more
[01:10.81]
[01:11.13] This life is lived in perfect symmetry
[01:19.53] What I do, that will be done to me
[01:26.20]
[01:28.19] Read page after page of analysis
[01:35.78] Looking for the final score
[01:39.42] We're no closer than we were before
[01:42.54]
[01:45.32] Who are you? What are you fighting for?
[01:53.63] Holy truth? Brother I choose this mortal life
[02:04.47]
[02:04.87] Lived in perfect symmetry
[02:09.61] What I do, that will be done to me
[02:18.03] As the needle slips into the run-out groove
[02:26.98] Love - maybe you'll feel it too
[02:33.44]
[02:33.98] And maybe you'll find life is unkind
[02:38.46] And over so soon
[02:42.27] There is no golden gate
[02:45.68] There's no heaven waiting for you
[02:49.59]
[02:50.36] Oh boy you ought to leave this town
[02:53.94] Get out while you can the meter's running down
[02:58.98] The voices in the streets you love
[03:02.37] Everything is better when you hear that sound
[03:05.95]
[03:17.19] Spineless dreamers hide in churches
[03:25.62] Pieces of pieces of rush hour buses
[03:33.73] I dream in emails, worn-out phrases
[03:42.18] Mile after mile of just empty pages
[03:49.53]
[03:49.94] Wrap yourself around me
[03:57.67] Wrap yourself around me
[04:06.56] As the needle slips into the run-out groove
[04:14.48] Maybe you'll feel it too
[04:18.69] Maybe you'll feel it too
[04:22.83] Maybe you'll feel it too
[04:27.22] Maybe you'll feel it too
[04:30.39]
[04:32.22]
[05:12.49]
