The noisy crowd at the bar has always stood there<br> | |||
Since the very first word fell out of the air<br> | |||
And they're too smart to care<br> | |||
Nothing reaches the ear that's heard it all before<br> | |||
Makes everything a bore | |||
And his song is for a girl<br> | |||
The empty hands she holds<br> | |||
And the clouds are crumbling<br> | |||
And her heart growing old<br> | |||
He sings, "I wanna love you, I wanna try,<br> | |||
here's my heart and my soul" | |||
The little phones they stroke<br> | |||
Have been around since Cain<br> | |||
Learned to kill with a smile<br> | |||
Learned to type out his name | |||
And his song was for a boy<br> | |||
Who just couldn't talk<br> | |||
Who only knows where he's going<br> | |||
When he's too drunk to walk<br> | |||
And things fall out of his pockets<br> | |||
And he never finds a way out | |||
And their arms stayed crossed<br> | |||
And too-cruel silence-bound<br> | |||
Good for no one or nothing<br> | |||
There's no comfort for them<br> | |||
There's no comfort in them | |||
His song is for a girl, for thunder and lightning<br> | |||
Like loving her made him so humble and frightened<br> | |||
But the crowd at the bar, they need so much more<br> | |||
Than anyone can ever give them<br> | |||
Than anyone can ever give them | |||
