7even Year Itch:Greatest Hits 1994-2 lyrics

Mother and child
I'm such a man for a short while
Promises be
The world just spins faster than me
(Come on, come on, come on)

And all of your friends
are now whispering
I think you left me for the government
And all of your friends
I hope are listening
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy

Beauty or beast?
(Beauty or beast?)
Which character am I to be?
I'm now powdering
(I'm now powdering)

You're now thirsty
Walking in the desert all alone
You're now searching
Lost in isolation from your soul
from the bullets you bite
to the pain you request
You're finding them harder to digest
When the answers you seek
Are the ones you destroy
Your anger's well de ployed

Why can't you listen
Why can't you hear
Why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere

You now hunger

I leave the cage wide open
I give no words of caution dear
So when you're done revolving
I only ask your presence here

So in the morning when I slow
And the sun soon explodes
I need the world to be controlled
And in the evening when I leave
I need a reason to believe
In the next homecoming, yeah

I cleared the road wide open
So put your hand on the wheel and steer
Don't drain this conversation

Hitched a ride to the peaceful side of town
Then proceeded where thieves were no longer found
Can't crash now, I've been waiting for this
Won't crash now, I found some encouragement

Precious declaration reads
Yours is yours and mine you leave alone now
Precious declaration says
I believe all hope is dead no longer

New meanings to the words I feed upon
Wake within my veins elements of freedom
