 LYRICS:
I  believe  we're crossing  a great ravine
 still yearning,  half-way a stranger
I  believe  in our  multiplicity
 still part-blind,  no reason for anger
  so  why don't you tell me
  why  don't you tell me
  why  don't you tell me  the truth about  you
tyranny crushing  the young bird's seed
hallowe'en's  mate short fuse of the banker
 I can see vaseline,  you smeared  it across every scene
 the anchorman  drowns in a sea of sensation
I  thought myself wise through all of these hopeless times
 but I told myself, told myself, you've got to hold on
  so  why don't you tell me
  why  don't you tell me
  why  don't you tell me  the truth about  you
  why  don't you tell me
  why  don't you tell me
  why  don't you tell me  the truth about  you
about  you, about  you
 until end]
