WHEN A PEACEFUL BIRD CAN'T HEAR HER OWN SONG
WHEN A WHOLE FIELD
OF SUN
IS FACED
EAST AND AWAY
FROM THE PAVEMENT
AND THE MAKER
AND IT'S SO LATE
THAT IT HURTS . . .
AND YOU'RE SO LIKE
A STORM
AND YOU KNOW I LIKE
A GOOD STORM
WHEN A PEACEFUL BIRD
CAN'T HEAR HER OWN SONG
AND IT'S SO LATE
THAT IT HURTS . . .

"NO ONE UP THERE IS LISTENING"
HOW'S MY HEART RATE
WHEN I MISSTEP
INTO THE CLOUDS
AND FIND NO WAY HOME
AND THROUGH THAT DOOR
COMES WHO KNOWS WHAT
UNTIL TIME SPELLS OUT
WHY AM I HERE?
GO 'WAY
GET OUT
GO' WAY
GET OUT
GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF
AND I ALREADY KNOW
THAT NO ONE UP THERE IS LISTENIN'
NO ONE UP THERE CAN SEE AT ALL
AND THROUGH THAT DOOR
COMES WHO KNOWS WHAT
'TIL TIME SPELLS OUT
WHY AM I HERE?
GO 'WAY
GET OUT
GO' WAY
GET OUT
