Northern Pikes - Hopes Go Astray [1988 Digital Remaster] lyrics

Just write a letter and mail it to yourself Read it out loud but to no one else Pick your pocket a measure of time And never leave these memories behind You'll sing 'til tomorrow And the days that will follow But it's never the same When you feel you're insane On the bed where you lay There's a plan that was made But it's never the same When your hopes go astray Just write a memo, and hang it on your wall A small reminder, of why you're here at all So look around, and groove to the sound Let's see those feet rise up from the ground You'll sing 'til tomorrow And the days that will follow But it's never the same When you feel you're insane On the bed where you lay There's a plan that was made But it's never the same When your hopes go astray Now the princess washes dishes She's done more harm than any good I am a witness of hugs and kisses Loneliness is never understood So paint a picture of things that aren't real Remember shame when it's time to kneel And don't forget the things that you say Could all come back to you some other day You'll sing 'til tomorrow And the days that will follow But it's never the same When you feel you're insane On the bed where you lay There's a plan that was made But it's never the same When your hopes go astray Hopes go astray.
