[00:07.89]
[00:14.98]
[00:21.18]Well, won't you lend your lungs to me?
[00:24.14]Mine are collapsing
[00:26.49]Plant my feet and bitterly breathe
[00:29.17]Up the time that's passing.
[00:31.63]Breath I'll take and breath I'll give
[00:34.27]Pray the day ain't poison
[00:37.23]Stand among the ones that live
[00:39.61]In lonely indecision.
[00:42.12]
[00:45.55]Fingers walk the darkness down
[00:47.87]Mind is on the midnight
[00:50.86]Gather up the gold you've found
[00:53.58]You fool, it's only moonlight.
[00:56.35]If you try to take it home
[00:58.86]Your hands will turn to butter
[01:01.50]You better leave this dream alone
[01:04.13]Try to find another.
[01:06.48]
[01:10.33]Salvation sat and crossed herself
[01:13.27]Called the devil partner
[01:15.95]Wisdom burned upon a shelf
[01:18.51]Who'll kill the raging cancer
[01:21.12]Seal the river at its mouth
[01:23.74]Take the water prisoner
[01:26.27]Fill the sky with screams and cries
[01:28.98]Bathe in fiery answers
[01:47.31]
[01:51.06]Jesus was an only son
[01:53.83]And love his only concept
[01:56.28]Strangers cry in foreign tongues
[01:58.92]And dirty up the doorstep
[02:01.83]And I for one, and you for two
[02:04.00]Ain't got the time for outside
[02:06.78]Just keep your injured looks to you
[02:09.31]We'll tell the world we tried
[02:15.28]
