| Eight weeks in the city,
|
| And you’ve never looked so pale,
|
| They say the pure of heart don’t stand a chance,
|
| And you’d better learn to swim,
|
| 'Cos there will be rainy days.
|
| I’m blinded the brake lights,
|
| Well there’s nothing moving here,
|
| And all your burning questions, they just get answered with another one,
|
| And there’s no help at all.
|
| So question me no questions,
|
| It’s a pointless enterprise,
|
| You ask and i’ll only tell you what i think you want to hear,
|
| oh mind the whitest lies.
|
| 'Cos the truth,
|
| Well it’s for students for philosophy,
|
| And faith is for losers like us,
|
| And secrets are for people who intend to get away with being in the wrong,
|
| So don’t you breath a word.
|
| But save your breath,
|
| For the laughing aloud, again.
|
| Save your breath,
|
| For the talking all night, oh.
|
| Save you breath,
|
| For the laughing aloud, again.
|
| Save your breath,
|
| Save your breath.
|
| Will you listen to their bleeding hearts?
|
| Pretend to show concern,
|
| And so we glanced our watches and join in as everybody sings,
|
| Oh what have we become?
|
| Will you hop a train to anywhere?
|
| It sure ain’t no place like home,
|
| Where there are no strangers,
|
| Only people you don’t wanna know,
|
| But before the crying out loud.
|
| Just save your breath,
|
| For the laughing aloud, again.
|
| Save your breath,
|
| For the talking all night, oh.
|
| Save your breath,
|
| For the laughing aloud, oh.
|
| Save your breath,
|
| Save your breath.
|
| So meet me by the station,
|
| And bring a change of heart,
|
| And smile away the old country as we watch it dissappear
|
| And pull these years apart.
|
| And scatter from the window,
|
| To settle on the fields,
|
| And tell yourself a hundred times that forever starts today,
|
| And think how good it feels.
|
| To save your breath,
|
| For the laughing aloud, again.
|
| Save your breath,
|
| For the talking all night, oh.
|
| Save your breath,
|
| For the laughing aloud, again.
|
| Save your breath,
|
| Save your breath,
|
| To save your breath,
|
| For the laughing aloud, again.
|
| Save your breath,
|
| For the talking all night, oh.
|
| Save your breath,
|
| For the laughing aloud, oh.
|
| Save your breath,
|
| Save, oh…
|
| Save your breath,
|
| (Don't waste your breath on treading water anymore)
|
| Save your breath,
|
| (There must be something you consider to be worth fighing for)
|
| Save your breath,
|
| (Waste your breath on running circles, round and round and round)
|
| Save your breath,
|
| (And talking about it when it cannot get you down)
|
| Save your breath,
|
| (Nobody want’s that much we just want more)
|
| Save your breath,
|
| (Don't waste your breath on treading water anymore)
|
| Save your breath,
|
| (Don't waste your breath on running circles, round and round and round and
|
| round)
|
| Save your breath,
|
| Save your breath. |
