Take back the instant, when you brushed him off your shirt
You tried to drag him to the trash
You tried to trade him in for cash
Take back the instant, when you blew him off your path
With a kiss reading 20 below zero
Tomorrow is a no-go, a no-go
Cold cold moment, when the first doubt shot through your head
A black ink drip running through your veins
Start ___________________ bringing you sweet pain
Pregnant seconds, dripping through the hour glass
When the lure of men who could be kings
Made you lose the man, who was wearing your ring
He didn't match your lucious thoughts tonight
You couldn't look him in the eye
Awkward is the embrace, when it's not tight,
(N/C)
Not tight
And so the jewel you once both had
Is left crumpled, like a collapsed lung
When all you had to do, was hang out in the sun,
Hang out in the sun
Sir you feel so dignified, your watch is very ornate
But you were just born into the right place
Just born into the right race
You're climbing mount everest now, granting wishes from above
Favours are yours to give
Lies are yours to live
Take back the instants, that lead you to believe
That the earth shakes cos youre not happy
And the sun rises cos youre not sleeping
Youve got the loudest parade in town
Clowns assasins and crooks
You got ladies in see-through gowns
Reading extracts from your books
Beggars are trailing at the back
Waving from the cardboard float
Youre thinking that up close
Statistics can be such a drag
Your cup is full now, blood is the colour of this wine
And its dripping from the ceiling
And its making the chandeliers ring
And the instant the ballroom over flows,
Your throats turn into your gallows
This is a great song performed by a fantastic band.
Im sure all of this (with the exception of the A sustained 2) is correct!
Enjoy
