We`re character actors from the Tower of Babel Bewildered, burned out hardly able To sit astride the high wire cable It`s hard to balance, a little unstable.
Through broken eyes and contact lenses Watched you draw your future tenses See kisses of flame blow out of your lips You`re back telling me your Apocalypse.
Don`t get me wrong, I`ll be strong When the slowburn sunset come along You`ve gotta stay the night I gotta think that you might.
We`ve tried a handful of bills and a handful of pills We`ve tried making movies from a volume of stills [But] the words fell like hailstones, bouncing at our feet, Covering our feelings with a frozen sheet.
A chance to move, I take a shot I get cold - you get hot We look outside, lyin` awake See birds breaking surface on a silent lake.
But don`t get me wrong, I`ll be strong When I`m back on the Isle of Avalon Dont get me wrong, I`ll be strong When the slow burn sunset come along You`ve got to stay the night I`ve got to think that you might.
Don`t try make it easy, it`ll cut you down to size Darlin` we`ve got to trust in something We`re shooting down our skies shooting down our skies
