Wasteland

[Verse 1] Not for no reason do they call this a wasteland This is the place where your mind isn't wanted Spring's so cruel, since it stops us pretending Many a place for a good confrontation There is no time for the lost generation Inevitably, it's a generalisation But innocence leaves, like a trivialisation [Chorus] The devil in me made a pact with naivety I keep you close with a memory The devil in me keeps a record of his misery I keep you close with a memory [Post-Chorus] Judging by your reaction I'll be taking no further action It's then I know that I know when I need you Then I know that I know when I need you I know that I know when I need you [Verse 2] And not for no reason do they call this a wasteland The century sighs, but there's life in the margin The casual stance emphasizes reluctance Ritual needs like a cosy conclusion Destiny screams, till it turns to a whimper You see it on screen, but there's a flaw in the picture Maybe there's space for the smallest suggestion [Chorus] The devil in me made a pact with naivety I keep you close with a memory The devil in me keeps a record of his misery I keep you close with a memory [Post-Chorus] Forging a new vocabulary seems like the only answer Then I'll show that I know when I need you Then I'll show that I know when I need you I show that I know when I need you [Outro] Judging by your reaction I'll be taking no further action Then I know that I know when I need you Then I know that I know when I need you Forging a new vocabulary seems like the only answer Then I'll show that I know when I need you Then I'll show that I know when I need you I show that I know when I need you I show that I know when I need you Then I'll know
