Why do you like to see me falling
Off the world in such a way?
I'm not a bird or a paper airplane
To crumple up or throw away
Why do you like to turn the tables
Break the back of modern time?
Mother Earth lies softly begging
"Don't drown your sorrows in my wine"
Climb a pole and up a tree
Hung from the limbs that harbor me
A final line to be confused
With blood or proof, the sky will choose
It's nine o-clock, I'm busted here
There's country music in my ear
I seek it all, these parcel prize
The trees are saying better times
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Why do you strike the match of reason
Burn the candle at both ends
Stoke the fire that heats desire
Break the mold that never bends?
Why do you save your worthless money
Buying joy, buying friends?
Shallow hearts and insane logic
Whoever dies with more toys wins
Come one, would you bounce it in my face
Well, in the top dead cities in the distant place?
Until ya stood from here to there
Souls are tapped out everywhere
Well, I need new hands, they're minor blue
In this stage, this social group
It's time to sleep upon the sky
And dream of life in days gone by
Why do your eyes burn red with fire
Itchy feet and bu*tons glow?
While children die like bloated cattle
The war will live, but light must go
Why do you search for final power
When love will turn a thousands heads?
Who cries for this shadowed message?
T.V. watchers, turn your heads
Come one, would you bounce it in my face
Well, in the top dead cities in the distant place?
Until ya stood from here to there
Souls are tapped out everywhere
Well, I need new hands, they're minor blue
In this stage, this social group
It's time to sleep upon the sky
And dream of life in days gone by
Dream of days gone by
Dream of days gone by
Dream of days gone by, by, by, by
Days gone by
Days gone by
Days gone by
Days gone by, by, by, by
Days gone by
Days gone by
Days gone by
Days gone by, by, by, by
Days gone by
Why do you like to see me floating
Upon the world in such a way?
I'm not a bird or a paper airplane
To crumple up or throw away
Why do you like to turn the tables
Break the back of modern time?
Mother Earth lies softly begging
"Don't drown your sorrows in my wine"
Come one, would you bounce it in my face
Well, in the top dead cities in the distant place?
Until ya stood from here to there
Souls are tapped out everywhere
Well, I need new hands, they're minor blue
In this stage, this social group
It's time to sleep upon the sky
And dream of life in days gone by
Dream of days gone by
Dream of days gone by
Dream of days gone by, by, by, by
Days gone by
Days gone by
Days gone by, ow, ow, ow-ow
Days gone by
