lyrics
lookin around for peace of ground
where the trees surround it
and the kids are makin up sounds like
birds runnin round the houses
and theres nothin at all from may to fall
'cept the lunatics in the hall are all screaming lies at each other
and you wonder why you never felt so alive
on the morning of the day that you died
well go ask your brother
let me in
i'll be your friend
i'll never change
i'll spill my brains on you
just don't be surprised
if there comes a time
that its all a lie
cause i've rearranged your truth
the mines on your front lines are never shiny
they're always so hard to find
and the sparks they make in your heart may be tiny
but they're explosions in my mind
they sent me scattered grasping for some kind of pattern
to try and make sense of it all
well i hope it never made you feel so flattered
when i was splattered on your wall
she said
let me in
i'll be your friend
i'll never change
i'll spill my brains on you
just don't be surprised
if there comes a time
that its all a lie
and i've rearranged your truth
now we're lookin around for peace of ground
where the trees surround it
and we're sure this time cause there are no straight lines
and the place the map told us to go
is not where we found it
all you boys and girls in the hollows of the world
when we let it all go we'll know and they won't have to tell us
and if you've realized the truth is full of lies
you know it won't be the last time in this life
just go ask your elders
go ask your elders
go ask your elders
and they'll say...
