That life went on with no clue
The warning signs were all dismissed or shot down
So it goes
The kings all failed to tell us
The madmen failed to sell us
And what would then befall the only life we know?
Were they burning signal fires
To guide us to the fields?
Or building funeral pyres?
The outcome of a final appeal
The city lines are down
The kerosene's run out
The fracturing of all we relied upon
Let's shed this unclean skin
And start to feel again
'Cause all the shoulders on which to cry are gone
The paranoia gripped us
The rain turned engines to rust
The panic set in like a cancer to our hearts
Spreading through
We bet on finite genius
Or prayed for Gods to save us
There was no antidote
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 fracturing of all we relied upon
Let's shed this unclean skin
And start to feel again
'Cause all the shoulders on which to cry are gone
He looked at the fields and then his hands
"All I need is what I have"
Then felt a tear of happiness
She watched the world crumble away
"Is this the end of yesterday?"
"Lord, I hope so" is all he said
All gone are the old gods
Gone are the cold, cold wars
Weightless we go forth
On wings of amnesty
All we relied on now
The city lines are down
The kerosene's run out
The fracturing of all we relied upon
Let's shed this unclean skin
And start to feel again
With no more shoulders
Shoulders to cry on now
No more, no more (The weight that we once felt is gone)
No more, no more
No more, no more (The weight that we once felt is gone)
The weight that we once felt is gone
And on that day they'll tell you That life went on with no clue The warning signs were all dismissed or shot down So it goes The kings all failed to tell us The madmen failed to sell us And what would then befall the only life we know? Were they burning signal fires To guide us to the fields? Or building funeral pyres? The outcome of a final appeal The city lines are down The kerosene's run out The fracturing of all we relied upon Let's shed this unclean skin And start to feel again 'Cause all the shoulders on which to cry are gone The paranoia gripped us The rain turned engines to rust The panic set in like a cancer to our hearts Spreading through We bet on finite genius Or prayed for Gods to save us There was no antidote 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 fracturing of all we relied upon Let's shed this unclean skin And start to feel again 'Cause all the shoulders on which to cry are gone He looked at the fields and then his hands "All I need is what I have" Then felt a tear of happiness She watched the world crumble away "Is this the end of yesterday?"
