Elysian Fields How We Die
Naked and trembling we enter Naked and trembling we enter Desperate scratches Hoping to fly Hopeful then hopeless We flounder Eating the answers That's how we die
Rowing unending rivers Swallowing slivers of beauty sublime Dragging a barrel of wishes Waiting for kisses That's how we die
Unfinished pictures, played out hands Serving the sentence we can't understand Arching towards heaven, the music was canned Memory fails us courting the land
Hungry for what we have tasted The years that we wasted The moons that we cried
Shielding Looking for shelter Lottery chances Still we try
Puzzles to manufacture Gravity fractures That's how we die
Unfinished pictures, played out hands Serving the sentence we can't understand Arching towards heaven, the music was canned Memory fails us courting the land Moving the sofa, riding the rails Keeping our secrets dumped out in pails Arching towards heaven, the music was canned Serving the sentence, courting the land
La la La la la la la La la la That's how we die La la La la la la la La la la That's how we, that's how we That's how we die
