"By the dried-up stream, we slit our throats and dreamed."
I'm going to love this school. I know it.
"When the buildings burned, was it some concern?"
I didn't mind the foundations of my future, only for now, for sympathy and laughter.
"Mother laid in bed, what was it she said?"
I can do better than this, but let's try here.
"Gather all your worldly jewels and scatter them like fools."
I'll give it all up to give this a go.
"Don't you make a fuss, days so perilous."
I promise I won't. I will make my due here.
"When the day is done, we'll ride... who cares what we find?"
I don't care much any more, nothing but devils in my mind.
"Another misspent night, we thought we got it right."
Another misspent.. Another misspent year-
"The driver lost the wheel, the ice turned into steel."
This is how reality gets back at me.
"We shivered like refugees way down on our knees."
How reality gets back at me.
"By the dried-up stream, we slit our throats and dreamed."
Reality gets back at me.
"When the buildings burned, was it some concern?"
Back at Me.
"Mother laid in bed,"
I'm sorry.
"what was it she said?"
I should've listened, I should've listened, I should've listened. I should've listened.
