lyrics

Sitting in a room, decorated with annoying colors

Cross the way where they play the glowing shutters

My friends, all here, and made of vagrant blue

And if given the say I wouldn’t choose



Oh look, there’s love up on a tv screen

Some action taken from a louder dream

Some halfway mark between touch and scream

Some way to get us to best degree



(Where is the gentle leader?

No man nor girl can feed her

Bowl stain, long reign, why’d you ask

you won’t believe her)



(Chorus)

Oh me, I’m only three and full of pity

Oh you, you’re kicking sand and pushing thirty

And I, I’m drawing eyes and sending rabbits

So why fill halls with all the dirty racket?



(And there’s the grim receiver

High up when far beneath her

Meat thin, won’t win, deaf and dumb and

Growing weaker)



(I think these hard voices aren’t allowed

I think your life’s blood is much too loud

I think my small frame contains a crowd

I think my small heart fits best on clouds)



(Chorus repeat)



Make the fuse that breaks the meter

All stain-so lame-who’s the better-bred deceiver

Bullshit-not it-holding her won’t break the fever/make you keep her/leave her leave her leave her leave her



Interlude



Want me? Oh baby yes I do

Give not to what stays here in the room

Grab me we’ll be the perfect weapon soon

The raging maybe in full bloom



Is this what you mean to say she wants it all?

Is this why we sing when we’re in the wall?

Is it such a thing to take on the world?

Won’t it be a dream when we finally fall?



(Where is the gentle leader)

I think these hard voices aren’t allowed

(No man nor girl can feed her)

I think I hate what you’re all about



You wait for something.
