Lyrics

The Pulse

[Verse 1]

How do I dodge the dirty looks?

You remember the path we took

People embrace the same old things

Throw it away

Let's make pretend

[Verse 2]

You accomplish and you destroy

If you want the end, then I'm your boy

People embrace the same ideas

Throw it away

Let's make pretend

[Verse 3]

How can I frame the things we've said

And navigate night to a dawn pristine?

People embrace the same ideas

Throw it away

Let's make pretend

[Pre-Chorus]

Little heart and soul

Little space and time

Little love and peace

Little crack on the mind

In the wind is the light

In the wind is the pulse

Oh, little heart and soul

Little space and time

Little love and peace

Little crack on the mind

In the wind is the light

In the wind is the pulse

I'm a war machine

[Chorus]

It's the same idea

Over and over again

The storm is here

It's the same idea

Over and over again

The storm is here

The storm is here

The storm is here

[Pre-Chorus]

Little heart and soul

Little space and time

Little love and peace

Little crack on the mind

In the wind is the light

In the wind is the pulse

Oh, little heart and soul

Little space and time

Little love and peace

Little crack on the mind

In the wind is the light

In the wind is the pulse

I'm a war machine

I'm a war machine

[Chorus]

It's the same idea

Over and over again

The storm is here

It's the same idea

Over and over again

The storm is here

The storm is...

It'll hurt you, baby

It'll hurt you, babe

It'll hurt you, baby

[Pre-Chorus]

Little heart and soul

Little space and time

Little love and peace

Little crack on the mind

In the wind is the light

In the wind is the pulse

Oh, little heart and soul

Little space and time

Little love and peace

Little crack on the mind

In the wind is the light

In the wind is the pulse

I'm a war machine

I'm a war machine

[Chorus]

It's the same idea

Over and over again

The storm is here

It's the same idea

Over and over again

The storm is here

[Outro]

It'll hurt you, baby

It'll hurt

It'll hurt you, baby

It'll hurt

It'll hurt you, baby

It'll hurt

It'll hurt you, baby

It'll hurt
