One holy ghost for a home made girl in a green t-shirt that read
I quote, "What price damnation now?"
In the schools of thought and the halls of state with the leap of faith
the loose translation must have lost her, it must have cost her..
to go back..to the civilization caught between here and the real one
just to say what you'd begun to say once.
Interlude , , , , ,
We've been enrolled in the wrong schools all through the pride of fall,
the falling price of education
There have been no clues in the last few days, in the steps retraced,
the education must have cost her. It must have caused her...
to go back to the civilization caught between here, and the real one
just to say what you'd begun to say once..
The education must have cost her......(The loose translation must have lost her
It must have lost her, yeah.....!) (x2)
