[00:38.190] My world is stirring sickly
[00:42.540] spits out our voices singing,
[00:46.680] "Sha la la, oh, no no,"
[00:50.510] to kingdom come so slightly.
[00:53.880] Here in the void in your place,
[00:57.820] I twitch and tweak illusions
[01:01.270] to sit and stare so blankly
[01:05.180] into our whole confused house.
[01:09.700] Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeing?
[01:12.790] Where do you go when I'm around?
[01:16.250] What have I done? What have I lost that's so defeating?
[01:20.530] And have the nerve to wear the crown?
[01:24.440] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[01:27.880] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[01:31.560] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[01:35.340] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[01:38.540] Some unguarded room:
[01:40.750] a smoky figure fills me full,
[01:44.550] makes my head swell and move.
[01:48.680] My family kneels at the pew,
[01:51.650] They nod, "We believe in what you're doing!"
[01:55.620] I feel you rise above me,
[01:58.550] the western landscape's towering,
[02:02.540] and from my shell of a body
[02:06.210] the flowers blossom for picking.
[02:10.520] Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeing?
[02:13.710] Where do you go when I'm around?
[02:17.090] What have I done, what have I got that's so defeating?
[02:21.410] And have the nerve to wear the crown?
[02:25.160] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[02:28.800] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[02:32.430] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[02:36.380] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[02:40.250] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[02:43.960] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[02:47.750] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[02:51.560] Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[02:55.810] I've waited and waited for someone to take it.
[03:02.330] Don't fight it, don't bother an inch for another.
[03:10.100] Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together.
[03:17.190] I've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing.
[03:22.020] I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction.
[03:26.010] I've painted your problems but found them attractive.
[03:29.750] Now I've been leaning towards a life far more caring,
[03:33.370] thrown back through the dark with your eyes as my candles,
[03:37.220] and your life, and my life, directions can render.
[03:40.780] And all of a sudden you left me to handle
[03:44.730] the reasons that never forbid me to step out.
[03:48.560] And somehow or somewhere I found out the secret -
[03:52.600] To say it aloud without actually breathing.
