lyrics
Dreams rush through your open door
A house upon the northern shore
Can you see it?
Days blow by like cigarettes
Vapors making minarets
Can you feel it…?
Life is drifting with the tide
Every wave a downward slide
Will you notice?
Late for work
Your boss is nuts
You’re dying from a thousand cuts
You can’t feel
Your children will not meet your eyes
Off to school with alibis
They can’t deal
You climb back on that carnie ride
The slow and gentle suicide
You should know this
Sha la la la la la la
My love won’t save you
No matter what you hear me say
There’s nothing to do
Oh, but there’s your love
Yes, there’s your love
The nest is filled with broken eggs
You’ll never see things whole again
Can’t mend it
You’re dreamin’ of a prison cell
And hopin’ for a shotgun shell
To end it
You’re waking up an hour late
While waters rise and angels wait
Can you stand it?
Sha la la la la la la
My love won’t save you
No matter what you hear me say
There’s nothing to do
Oh, but there’s your love
Yes, there’s your love
This is your love
