Under your wheels, the hope of spring
|
Mirage of loss, a few more things
|
You left your sorrow dangling
|
It hangs in air like a school cheer
|
|
Complex notes inside the chords
|
On every wall inflections carved
|
Deep as lakes and dark as stars
|
Remember we were the volunteers
|
|
(Ooooh) Courts knew this and nothing more
|
(Ooooh) Now it's my rights versus yours
|
|
Under your wheels, your hopeless reign
|
You fall too hard?we're up too late
|
We hang suspended from the heights
|
Until it's safer to walk here
|
|
Under your wheels, your chance is with
|
The easy call, the called-off search
|
The medicine, it still won't work
|
But there's dangerous levels of it here
|
|
(Ooooh) Same thing as the other time
|
(Ooooh) But now it's your rights versus mine
|
|
The truth in one free afternoon
|
The truth in one free afternoon
|
|
Under my wheels the chance is held
|
Gave me to save me from myself
|
Spectacles painted with my shaking hand
|
|
Fingers in paints, in paints we brought
|
Thinking we'd leave them when we're not
|
Flying the flags of new empires in rags
|
|
The new empire in rags
|
The truth in one free afternoon
|
A new empire in rags
|
The truth in one free afternoon
|
A new empire in rags
|
The truth in one free afternoon
|
A new empire in rags
|
The truth in one free afternoon
|
|
Under your wheels, the fits and starts
|
The time to dabble in the arts
|
To tease the packs of dogs in charge
|
But kid it's all wasted on me
|
|
Under your wheels, the hope of spring
|
Mirage of loss, a few more things
|
The medicine it still won't sing
|
But there's dangerous levels of it here
|
|
(Your rights over my rights now
|
We came to the right place
|
Your rights over my rights now
|
Your rights over my rights now
|
We came to the right place
|
Your rights over my rights now
|
Your rights over my rights now)
