lyrics

It was all a fever dream
A desert isle
Lilliputian schemes
Of a hurting child
Wild and unreasoning

It was big and bold and oh it was loud
It reduced the one to a crowd
And for years it drowned out all the screaming

It said lay your soul down here
We will tend it for you
Which in truth proved a little misleading
Come the broken bonds
And the cupboards bare
You've got nothing for me to believe in

That's the virtue buried in the vice
The wisdom won at an inordinate price
Find a heart made of gold
Not of lead or of tin
Find a safe harbour
With a good companion

Hear it from afar
Slightly out of tune
Perform the pattern required
By your harlequin suit
For your million friends
Everyone sleeping

But it aches now always like a rotten tooth
Losing track of days
No one mentions it's lose
Oh the sin of not paying
Enough attention

What happened to me
Will happen to everyone
What happened to me
Is gonna happen to you, too
Come the broken bonds
And the cupboards bare
There'll be nothing for you to believe in

In the end, you get nothing but time
All the time in the world to lose your mind

Oh boy, coming over and over
Oh boy, sing it tender and joyful
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Oh boy, coming over and over
Oh boy, sing it tender and joyful
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back

To a heart made of gold
Not of lead or of tin
Find a safe harbour with a good companion
