Oh, the life you lead
Leads you to distraction
Confusing your desires
With voluntary actions
And a hundred thousand destinations
The plans that you've forgotten
And the fruits of all your labor
Are slowly going rotten

And the blanket of the city
Will never keep you warm
And the pages of our history
Are free and truly worn

Oh, the time we need
Is passing every day
You can't blame it on
The words we never say

Oh, the world is love
Strings and chain reactions
Never-ending fires
Heartache and attractions

And the blanket of the city
Will never keep you warm
And the pages of our history
Are free and truly worn

Oh, the time we need
Is passing every day
You can't blame it on the
Words we never say
