Lyrics
Lightning crashed and brought the letter I ran off into the garden Flowers started growing there Felt the dark lift from my hair Truths that poured filled up the grail Who could ask the question now? Riding on the crying lion Search for treasure's snaking lair Golden bands wrap fury's hands Let's accept a winning chance Trees around can bring the life I bent down on aching knees and felt the change Just grab something, take hold The only things you know Stay grounded like the spruce A little change Just grab something, take hold The only thing you know Stay grounded like the truth Truths that poured filled up the grail Who could ask the question now? Riding on the crying lion Search for treasure's snaking lair Golden bands wrapped fury's arms [I wonder if the speech will come] Life poured out from trees around I bent down on aching knees and felt a change Just grab something, take hold The only thing you know Stay grounded like a spruce A little change Just grab something, take hold The only thing you know Stay grounded with the spruce Every time the sound, the sound, the sound Sky of sounds, sky of sounds, will bring you 'round What was on the ground, the ground, the ground Sky of sounds, sky of sounds, the falling crown One day you went down, down, down Sky of crowns, sky of crowns, will bring you 'round Every time I'm down, down, down Die around, die around, the falling ground Every time I'm down, down, down Sky of sounds, sky of sounds, the falling ground One day you will sound, sound, sound Sky of sounds, sky of sounds, will change you 'round Everyone went down, down, down On the ground, on the ground, don't keep me down One day you will sound, sound, sound Sky of sounds, sky of sounds, the falling ground Once had an old way Cracks in all the cabinets Streets of old games Coming of age You withered old dog Act your age Good dog What was its name? Coming of age Any old would do Rice in all the cabinets Oatmeal a day Coming of age Peanut butter go 'round Bring that jam, now pass it 'round That was a way Coming of age In the foggy water I saw venom floating Justice, justice, helped her Clean up all of her Once had an old way Cracks in all the cabinets Streets of old games Coming of age Peanut butter go 'round Play that jam, yeah Bring it 'round Drinking all day Coming of age Just a frightened mother Looking for her daughter Justice, justice, wandered Looking for his mother Isn't it now defeat? Oh no, not now Isn't it now defeat? Oh no, not now Isn't it now defeat? Oh no, not now Isn't it now defeat? Oh no, not now In the foggy water I saw venom floating Justice, justice, helped her Clean up all the murder Isn't it now defeat? Oh no, not now Isn't it now defeat? Oh no, not now Isn't it now defeat? Oh no, not now Isn't it now defeat? Oh no, not now Isn't it now defeat? Oh no, not now Isn't it now defeat?
