Were character actors from the Tower of Babel
Bewildered, burned out hardly able
To sit astride the high wire cable
Its hard to balance, a little unstable.
Through broken eyes and contact lenses
(I) Watched you draw your future tenses
See kisses of flame blow out of your lips
Youre back telling me your Apocalypse.
Dont get me wrong, Ill be strong
When the slowburn sunset come along
Youve gotta stay the night
I gotta think that you might.
Weve tried a handful of bills and a handful of pills
Weve 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 dont get me wrong, Ill be strong
When Im back on the Isle of Avalon
Dont get me wrong, Ill be strong
When the slow burn sunset come along
Youve got to stay the night
Ive got to think that you might.
Dont try (to) make it easy, itll cut you down to size
Darlin weve got to trust in something
Were shooting down our skies
shooting down (shooting down) our skies
(shooting down our ...)
