We´re character actors from the Tower of Babel Bewildered, burnt out, hardly able To sit astride the high wire cable It´s hard to balance, a little unstable.
Through broken eyes and contact lenses ´Watched you draw your future tenses See kisses of flame blow out of your lips You´re back telling me your Apocalypse.
Don´t get me wrong, I´ll be strong When the slowburn sunset come along You´ve gotta stay the night I gotta think that you might.
We´ve tried a hanful of bills and a handful of pills We´ve 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 don´t get me wrong, I´ll be strong When I´m back on the Isle of Avalon Don´t get me wrong, I´ll be strong When the slow burn sunset come along You´ve got to stay the night I´ve got to think that you might.
Don´t try to make it easy, it´ll cut you down to size Darlin´ we´ve got to trust in something We´re shooting down our skies shooting down our skies.
