Ballad For The Bedwetters

Walking and talking
Rhythm and the beat of the drum
This symphony don’t sound familiar to what i’m used to
The band must play on
And the score is where the key change lies
Some days it’s just so difficult to harmonize
So for 24 years i’ve had my eyes wide shut to this film that i’m starring in
No army of ignorance
Spiritual faux pas would’ve questioned the price that we paid to get in
You can’t hide forever
We’ve all got the goods to declare
Then out of the blue
The sky will fall through and you’ll see what’s really there
Standing in the line of fire
My hands held up high over my head
I’m teaching bullets to dance in my palms
Like butterflies
This is the height of all delusion
Where conviction won’t last for an hour
Like that heap of white powder you’re convinced is cocaine
But later turns out to be flour
So for 24 years i’ve had my eyes wide shut to this film that i’m starring in
No army of ignorance
Or spiritual faux pas would’ve questioned the price that we paid to get in
You can’t hide forever
We’ve all got the goods to declare
Then out of the blue
The sky will fall through and you’ll see what’s really there
Now there’s a lot to be said for the living dead
For the clowns and further bedwetters
For the ones who are lost on 19 across
Oh, they’ve got the right word, just not enough letters
Breathe in your inconvenience
Then shout out with joy
I’ve got no more strings
And i’m a real boy
It’s like, for 24 years i’ve had my eyes wide shut to this film that i’m
starring in
No army of ignorance
Or spiritual faux pas would’ve questioned the price that we paid to get in
You can’t hide forever
We’ve all got the goods to declare
Then out of the blue
The sky will fall through and you’ll see what’s really there
