Dead Wishes |
| Staring in the mirror with two borrowed eyes |
| Looking for a part of me that’s still alive |
| Waiting for my chest to fall 'n rise |
| Standing on the corner with my shirt tucked in |
| Summer turns to autumn, winter turns to spring |
| And it all flies by like a speeding train |
| Dead wishes on a broken chain |
| White roses in a dead man’s dream |
| Down and out with everything to lose |
| If these long dead wishes never do come true |
| Waiting for the night to come and chase away |
| All the flies hovering around my head |
| With my memories for a pillow and all my regrets for a bed |
| Standing on the corner now I’m past surprise |
| Yelling out a warning to some passerby |
| I stand just as God made me and I lie down in disguise |
| Dead wishes on a burning lake |
| White roses for my soul to keep |
| Diving down with everything to win |
| If my long since sunken ship ever does come in |
| Round and round we all fall down |
| And that’s how ancient mountains crumble |
| Time keeps moving slower |
| Like falling from the sun |
| Come and knock me over |
| I keep getting up |
| Throw a line down to me |
| Keep hanging on… |
| Standing on the corner don’t apologize |
| You don’t have to bow your head or raise your eyes |
| Or pretend that you don’t see me |
| Dead wishes on a broken chain |
| White roses in a dead man’s dream |
| Down and out with everything to lose |
| If these long dead wishes |
| These long dead wishes never do come true |
| Round and round we all fall down |
| And that’s how ancient mountains crumble (2x) |
| That’s how ancient mountains crumble (2x) |
