| Made a promise to say so much
|
| Oh I can only steal from you
|
| What already belongs to us
|
| I would like to sing a firestorm
|
| And not some rich and soothing well
|
| Well all such lines are forbidden now
|
| And it’s you I cannot touch
|
| Well you know that it ain’t true
|
| I don’t care 'bout me and you
|
| See the sky is so deep
|
| And I dare not go to sleep
|
| I would like to come unmasked for you
|
| I wanna come without a lie
|
| It was this voice and pen I used
|
| To make myself a man
|
| Now if you could try and reach inside
|
| And tear apart this sad cocoon
|
| Oh I will again be that moon for you
|
| And we too will be like sand
|
| Well you know that it ain’t true
|
| I don’t care 'bout me and you
|
| See the sky is so deep
|
| And I dare not, dare not, well go to sleep you know
|
| You know it just might change
|
| You don’t wear these checkers and chains
|
| You know it won’t come on You know the government’s coming along
|
| You know it just might change
|
| You don’t wear these checkers and chains, checkers and chains
|
| Well alright
|
| Now I ain’t being cold
|
| You know it’s only that just now
|
| Seems obvious the hands that fell
|
| Are the hands that will soon knock down
|
| Well tonight I see the skyline
|
| As the skyline lights a mountain range
|
| Tomorrow night it just might have changed
|
| The other way around
|
| Well you know that it ain’t true
|
| I don’t care 'bout me and you
|
| See the sky is so deep
|
| And I dare not, dare not, well go to sleep you know
|
| You know it just might change
|
| You don’t wear these checkers and chains
|
| You know it won’t come on You know the government’s coming along
|
| You kno |
