nothing that you’ll ever see
as baller
as queen elizabeth’s collar
makes you look taller
makes your heard look smaller
pack the old satchel
pad and a pencil
can of sardines
and an eating utensil
an eating utensil
might have been the moon
for all i know
passersby were riding
in a u.f.o.
passersby were riding
in a u.f.o.
‘bout to catch an uber
when i saw her
in queen elizabeth’s collar
looked like a scholar
made me want to holler
day light fading
i lost my direction
checking my phone
for a lost connection
might have been the moon
for all i know
passersby were riding
in a u.f.o.
passersby were riding
in a u.f.o.
Pacing and folding and holding me down
Can’t touch the sky(gold) with my feet on the ground
Loving, hating, missing, waiting
It’s my time to fly, so high
Not too late, leave it all behind
Not too late, to say goodbye
Let’s celebrate, if it’s there to find
Not too late, to say goodbye
Losing religion from life on the edge
Locked in a dungeon with no hope left
Whispering, crying, too late for trying?
Maybe not just yet... yet
If you're lookin' for good times I got what you need
Read a little 'tween white lines don't care if you bleed
Don't care if you bleed
I'm your pusher man baby, I'm feeding your head
Don't you know you can trust me, now hear what I said
Nothin doing but lifetimes forget what you read
Say goodbye to your troubles, you'll sleep when you're dead
Sleep when you're dead
Pay what you owe me, there's a tax on your mind
Keep you running on credit, gotta keep you behind
Gotta keep you behind
Don't let the suit fool you, I'm the wolf at the door
I know the pill's bitter, you still wanting more
You're still wanting more
v1:
Did they tell you that the skies won't open up
while you're waiting on the night to fall?
And you'd like to think tomorrow might be enough
but everybody can't walk so tall
-----
In the end you've got to listen to the voice inside
the one that says that you're born to love
You can walk away from all of your childish pride
and set your heart to the important stuff
ch:
Sing your song for the ones that you love
Sing your songs for whatever
'Cause it won't be long 'til it all fades away
There's no such thing as forever
v2:
Watch the clock and it says that time is standing still
but we all know that clocks will lie
The earth keeps turning like it always will
It's never wrong to say goodbye
-----
It's never wrong to spend a day with a circle of friends
if you've got luck enough to have a few
You never know when somebody is on the mend
but you know what love can do
ch:
Sing your song for the ones that you love
Sing your songs for whatever
'Cause it won't be long 'til it all fades away
There's no such thing as forever
-- harmonica --
v3:
So play your heart out on whatever you choose to play
Throw your soul out into the world
Don't think you can save it for another day
If you do, you're only clutching pearls
-----
Your talent is a gift, it's meant to share
You can double your amount of joy
Someone's got a sadness that you can repair
And darkness that you can destroy
ch:
Sing your song for the ones that you love
Sing your songs for whatever
'Cause it won't be long 'til it all fades away
There's no such thing as forever
v4:
Watch the clock and it says that time is standing still
but we all know that clocks will lie
The earth keeps turning like it always will
It's never wrong to say goodbye
-----
It's never wrong to spend a day with a circle of friends
if you've got luck enough to have a few
You never know when someone is on the mend
You never know what love can do
Lyrics were very last minute, and not worth printing ...
