Stories Going ‘Round

We've been told you hate us

You've been told we never try

We've been told you're greedy

You've been told we always lie

Oh, these days are noisy

It's like I can't hear myself think

This whole town feels thirsty

Another round of doublethink

Fall apart

Fall apart

Fall apart

No one hears you when you yell

It's just stories going 'round

Where they come from I can't tell

I got my ear to the ground

You're waiting to be seen

You're wanting to count

People sharing out their dreams

You're feeling lеft out

Everybody prays

Everyone a diffеrent way

Some bow their heads

Some sit still like ghosts

Some don't know they pray

They're just bleeding through their days

To the moon and sun

Anything, well anyone

No one hears you when you yell

It's just stories going 'round

Where they come from I can't tell

I got my ear to the ground

You're waiting to be seen

You're wanting to count

People sharing out their dreams

You're feeling left out

Life is long

It's long enough

Sometimes the seas are calm

Right now the seas are rough

[Musical interlude]

Life is long

It's long enough

Sometimes the seas are calm

Right now the seas are rough

Life is long

It's long enough

Sometimes the seas are calm

Sometimes the seas are rough

[Musical interlude]

Here it comes

Here comes the night

As soft as moonlight

As old as starlight

Here it comes

Here comes the night

As soft as moonlight

As old as starlight

Here comes the night

It's soft

And it's old

Here comes the night
