I got tired of sadness
I got tired of all the madness
I got tired of being a badass all the time
It’s only survival
Only not dead upon arrival
Only ahead of every rival that we find
And we’ve ridden beyond where we could safely touch down
And we’re out in the void past where we could’ve had turned around
I tried my feet on the floor, tried to beat on the door
But it didn’t even make a sound
Got my heart open wide
But the city been shut down
It’s easy to go babe
It’s just an easy yes or no, babe
It’s just an easy way to throw away what we have
I don’t need a letter
I don’t need anybody better
I don’t need anybody ever, I never have
And you’ve ridden beyond where you could safely touch down
And you’re out in the void past where you could’ve had turned around
Hey I told you before, I needed you more
But it didn’t even make a sound
I got my heart open wide
But the city been shut down
Now sooner or later
It’s just an empty elevator
Just the song of the revelator on every floor
Now how can I get it right?
I don’t even like what I write
I don’t even like what I like anymore
But I stand in the yard and watch the evening come down
And I shuffle the cards when all the idiots come around
Hey I told you before, I needed you more
But you didn’t even turn around
Got my heart open wide
But the city been shut down
I got my heart open wide
But the city been shut down
Hey I told you before, I needed you more
But you couldn’t even turn around
Got my heart open wide
But the city been shut down
Got my heart open wide
But the city been shut down
Got my heart open wide
But the city been shut down
Got my heart open wide
But the city been shut down
Like a California woman
With a global point of view
You wear it well, it’s unbearable
You found it in Peru
Well five stars, great, you’ve got it made
I been reading the reviews
It’s a new world babe, I can’t behave
As if I know what to do
‘Cause I belong to an older song
It’s a feeling unrelenting
And I might have apologized
But I have never been wrong
I know the world is ending
Your birth inspired spontaneous choirs
Angels heralding you
The psychic’s vision came to pass
The critics all withdrew
The palm leaves laid for you to play on
They sway as you come to
And all of this new happiness
Makes it all the more uncouth
That I belong to an older song
It’s a feeling unrelenting
And I might have apologized
But I have never been wrong
I know the world is ending
Yeah I belong to an older song
It’s a feeling unrelenting
And I might have apologized
But I have never been wrong
I know the world is ending
Until they send some scientist
To come and prove me wrong
I know the world is ending
I know the world is ending
I know the world is ending
I know the world is ending
I’m writing this to you to say it’s ok
I guess I must have asked too much of you
I thought the whole thing through but then thought no way
But I couldn’t help but notice it was true
The stars were out to shine but you were way gone
I saw it in the way you laced your shoe
You thought I might not see but you were way wrong
I know it ‘cause it’s how I used to do
You’re building fences
You’re building fences
Our path beside the sea was firm at low tide
I wouldn’t have believed it could disappear
Or that the gulf between us could get so wide
I can’t even recall how we got here
You’re building fences
You’re building fences
I’m writing this to you to say its ok
I guess I must have asked too much of you
I thought the whole thing through but then thought no way
But I couldn’t help but notice it was true
Building fences
Building fences
Building fences
Building fences
See the lines in the field
As they curve away from you
As the rows go flashing by
They say the signs will reveal it
But they hardly ever do
And I know that can’t be right
See, I was steadily moving
But now I’m steady standing still
So clearly set up to fail
I have to wonder what you’re after
I see the lake in the evening
As it’s dripping off your skin
And I try to hold it tight
I try to shake off that feeling
But it just keeps slipping in
Like the day into the night
I been seeing you suffering
And I see you suffering still
You have to take it apart
You have to make this matter
You have made an impossible house
You have made an impossible house
You have made an impossible house
You have made an impossible house
I took a look at the cards
And I laid them out for you
Just a captain doomed to drown
I went and pulled the alarm
And it played around the room
You were laughing at the sound
Went to your palace and hid
As the thieves approached the throne
Like that McCallister kid
You have been left at home alone
You have made an impossible house
You have made an impossible house
You have made an impossible house
You have made an impossible house
I seen your black limousine
Rolling slowly through the alley
All long and shiny and mean
With a license plate that just says ‘NSTY’
You have made an impossible house
You have made an impossible house
You have made an impossible house
You have made an impossible house
Wide as heaven and as thick as love
White as a feather in the roses
Wild as the heather to the newborn dove
Slight as eleven to the dozen
Time is a raven with a beak of blood
Crying at seven every morning
Bright as forever in the bleaching sun
Wider than heaven when it’s yawning
Why does heaven make me feel so sad
Why does heaven never notice
Why would heaven make me feel so sad
Why would heaven never notice
Time is a raven with a beak of blood
Crying at seven every morning
I would rather it didn’t be so tough
Than bright as heaven in the dawning
Why does heaven make me feel so sad
Why does heaven never notice
Why would heaven make me feel so sad
Why would heaven never notice
The world is armed and aching
It’s not surprising you
You don’t suppose you need to face it
I tell you now you do
I’d tell you about a feeling
But I lose it in a crowd
The stars beyond the ceiling
A moon behind the clouds
Every ghost just needs a witness
That is not surprising you
You don’t suppose you need forgiveness
I tell you now you do
I’d tell you about a feeling
But I lose it in a crowd
A shadowed veil concealing
A moon behind the clouds
It’s just an empty feeling
A camera on the ground
The stars beyond the ceiling
A moon behind the clouds
Your country is on fire
We’ve come apart somehow
A photograph revealing
A moon behind the clouds
I’d tell you about a feeling
But I lose it in a crowd
A tiny voice repeating
A moon behind the clouds
A moon behind the clouds
Leafy trees and empty trees
They’re all the same
Blowing trees and frozen trees
They’re all the same
Empty nights and feral nights
They’re all the same
Silent lives and violent lives
They’re all the same
It’s all the same
It’s all the same
It’s all the same
It’s all the same
Hidden lies and alibis
They’re all the same
Open skies and darkened eyes
They’re all the same
Final rights and china lights
They’re all the same
Hallowed halls and alcohols
They’re all the same
It’s all the same
It’s all the same
It’s all the same
It’s all the same
“Fear is the mind killer”
“Beer is the fear killer”
“This beer is killer”
“Phyllis Diller is a cock thriller”
Oh yeah
Time waits for everybody
And I waited too ah honey
I traded in thunder
But that’s only weather
And I owe you better than that
A bright winter ceremony
And I’m feeling cold and lonely
The snow makes a cover
But that’s only weather
And I owe you better than that
I dreamed of a season coming
The light in the trees was humming
A white Spanish summer
But that’s only weather
And I owe you better than that
Fear is the mind killer
Beer is the fear killer
This beer is killer
Phyllis Diller is a cock thriller, oh yeah
Phyllis Diller is a cock thriller, oh yeah
Phyllis Diller is a cock thriller, oh yeah
The city lights they shine on you
It’s a pretty night on the avenue
A full on nightmare
Makes it hard to believe in your best behavior
The city lights they shine on you
You’ve done alright but it’s all untrue
The season fights but it pulls you through
It still don’t fight fair
And the comedy calls and it might be failure
The city lights they shine on you
To get it right is hard to do
It’s a question no one answers
There’s a secret point of view
You come on right there
Make it hard to believe it’s your best behavior
The city lights they shine on you
It’s a pretty night on the avenue
You’ve done alright but it’s all untrue
It’s a full on nightmare
Makes it hard to believe in your best behavior
The city lights they shine on you
To get it right is hard to do
To get it right is hard
There’s no more crystal visions
There’s no more to carve into
There’s no more waiting
The city lights they shine on you
To get it right is hard to do
To get it right is hard
To get it right is hard to do
But we get it right, it’s what we do
We get it right yeah
It’s what we do
