And on that day they'll tell you That life hung on with no clue The warning signs were all just missed or shattered down So it goes The kings all failed to tell us The madmen failed to sell us Of what would then befall the only life we know When they're burning signal fires To guide us to the fields We're building funeral pyres They all commit a final appeal The city lines are down The kerosene's run out The fact surreal We relied upon I shed this unclean skin And start to feel again 'Cause all the shoulders I wish to cry on gone The paranoia gripped us Berate and then consume us The panic set in like a cancer to our hearts Spreading through We've been on fire like genius I pray for god to save us There was no answer, though Disease tore us apart We left bodies in the fields So numb that we forgot how to feel The city lines are down The kerosene's run out The fact surreal We relied upon I shed this unclean skin And start to feel again 'Cause all the shoulders I wish to cry on gone He looked at the fields, and then his hands All I need is what I have Then fell a tear of happiness Oh, she watched it all crumble away Is this the end of yesterday? "Lord, I hope so" is all he said Gone are the cold cold wars All I've got are the ? And as we go forth I pray we'll remember this day Oh, we relied on now The city lines are down The kerosene's run out The fact surreal We relied upon I shed this unclean skin And start to feel again With no more shoulders, shoulders to cry on now No more, no more No more, no more No more, no more The weight that we once felt is gone
