Why burn poor and lonely under a bowl,
|
Under a lampshade or on the shelf
|
Beside the bed where at night
|
You lay turning like a door on it's hinges?
|
(First on your left side, then on your right side, then your left side again)
|
Why burn poor and lonely?
|
Tell all the stones, we're gonna make a building.
|
We'll be cut into shape & set into place or if you'd rather be a window,
|
I'll gladly be the frame, reflecting any kind of words.
|
We'll let in all the blame
|
(And ruin our reputation all the same)
|
Never mind our plan making,
|
We'll start living......anyway,
|
Aren't you unbearably sad?
|
Then why burn so poor and lonely?
|
|
We'll be like torches
|
we'll be like torches
|
We'll be torches together! torches together
|
well be like torches
|
we'll be like torches
|
With whatever respect, our tattered Dignity demands
|
Torches together, hand in hand
|
|
Why pluck one string - What good is just one note?
|
Oh, one string sounds fine I guess....We were once 'One Note',
|
We were lonely wheat quietly ground into grain
|
(What light and momentary pain!)
|
So why this safe distance, this curious look?
|
Why tear out single pages when you can throw away the book?
|
Why pluck one string when you can strum the guitar?
|
Strum the guitar!
|
strum the guitar!
|
strum the guitar!
|
With no beginning, with no end
|
Take down a guitar and strum the guitar
|
strum the the guitar if you're afraid,
|
And I'm afraid and everyone's afraid
|
And everyone knows it but we don't have to be afraid anymore
|
|
You played the flute but no one was dancing
|
You sang a sad song and none of us cried(x4)
|
you played such a sad song....such a sad song
|
