Quartet lyrics

Chorus:

(And we talked) Just the two of us.
(All the time) Nothing serious.
(We pretend) Time is on our side.
('Til the end) When the scream subsides.

Yes, we had it all, had the key gripped in our hands.
We could see the fall as a martyr understands.
When the chorus calls there's no room for hope inside.
Lose it all when the scream subsides.

(Chorus)

Chorus:

Welcome to..
Welcome to..
Welcome to the song.

Hear the words of the syncopated rhythms.
Welcome to the song.
And when it calls you, time to move on.
We go!

(Chorus)

Feel the strength of a hundred thousand heartbeats,
Cry welcome to the song.
And as it lifts you, time to move on.
We go!

(Chorus)

Drawn from the inside,
Time to move on.

We go!
We go!

Chorus:

Serenade, in rhythm and swing.
Serenade, the gift that we bring.
Serenade, youth runs wild with the beat in their hearts.
Dance a wild dance, be torn apart.

Voices ringing in their heads.
Their crashing hands in time.
In sequence and in rhyme.
The chant of a thousand-fold.
The song of a million strong.
Echoes their perfect praise.

(Chorus)

Chorus:

A life as a stranger,
Hands through a wire,
Forbidden desires,
Are mine for life.

Looking from a spiral staircase,
At a man with a suitcase,
As he shades his eyes.

Watching from a stained glass shelter,
He bides his time and thinks,
There must be more to life than this.

(Chorus)

The poet reads his words out loud,
To a make-believe crowd,
In the quiet of his room.

Chorus:

See the man on the 'phone,
With a gun in his hand,
Sipping courage from a crystal cup.
He's a man in the wrong,
With a gun at his head,
Pushes on and now it's time to cut and run.

Time, passing so slowly.
Still, as he sits and he watches the sand slip through his hands.
He demands something more,
Something strong,
Something savage and pure.
