Well morning came and it dressed the sky
In a lovely yellow gown
Now the shops they are all opening
In that narrow hallway of downtown
Filled with people who are shopping for
Their lovers and their friends
Saying they won't ever be lonely again
Well a forest fenced becomes backyards
Like songs are born from sound
And the apple fell and it taught us all
We are chained here to the ground
So I mean, here we go but there ain't no escape
Yeah, these streets they're just dead ends
So I won't ever be happy again
Well, it seems you too see a painful blue
When you stare into the sky
You could never understand
The motion of a hand waving you goodbye, "bye bye"
But as the story goes or it is often told
A new day will arise
And all the dance halls will be full of the skeletons
That are coming back to life
And on a grassy hill, the lion will
Lay down with the lamb
And I won't ever be lonely again
No, no, no, no, no!
But until that time
I think I'd better find
Some disbelief to suspend
Cause I don't want to feel like this again
