Toad The Wet Sprocket - Way Away lyrics

Line of people to pa** you by Posing sympathy with its whitewash eyes With the ladies feigning their mourning cries And the men shaking hands: Weigh away Way away All the pictures in your mind As you're pa**ed the thousandth time Thousandth photograph Listen to sympathetic lies As their reasons change under mourning guise With the gentlemen feigning sorrowed sighs And drinking champagne: Weigh away Way away As all the people pa** and pose You hold back the tears And hold onto memories Small talk hangs like a dirty cloud Saying nothing real but deafening loud An urge to run away from the crowd And mourn all alone: Make a promise to no-one Wondering if you'd been worthwhile Turn away from the chatter And the hungry smiles
