I stayed in bed like you said but nothing changed when I finally rose
The sun burned a hole in my head
Standing on the sand, hoping to become a new man
Standing on the sand, hoping to become a new person!
Oh These bodies! Like strangers in a new world
Oh our bodies: countries young and old
Unrest in evening, fire on the streets
The barricade and the reek
Dragon's found a new leash
Whose arms are these? Outstretched on the floor
Whose hands are these? I can't feel anymore
Baby's got a new suit, letter writers on a strike
Kids play at cocktails: broken windows and fire sales
Dial your shrink, beg him to love you
Like you wish your daddy would do.
Oh!
If we collapse
(wrap me tighter, crawl under your sweater, tell me your story while we're still alive)
Then we collapse!
Someone's got to share the blame,
Some's got to help us carry this weight,
Maybe it's all that we can do...
Just not to, just not to collapse!
If we collapse! (hold me tighter)
Then we collapse! (tell me your story... while we're still alive...)
I stayed in bed like you said but nothing changed when I finally rose
The sun burned a hole in my head
Standing on the sand, hoping to become a new man
Standing on the sand, hoping to become a new person!

A beautiful set of songs. My Eyes Are Up Here may contain my favorite Lee lyrics. I was spoiled and heard this the first time on a rainy night drive. christophersuder
