lyrics

This is what you wanted
Don't forget what you said
Like the blood on your pages
A room painted in red
No one to disturb you
Alone with only the sounds in their stead
They'll let you burn in the ashtray
Somehow they always forget

But oh, when the nighttime comes again
Hold on, hold on, my friend
The most beautiful scenes are seen only in dreams

We closed the bar on a Friday
I'd not been out in a while
She lost her car and went sideways
By foot it's only a mile
So I walked home alone
Past your place and I left you a smile
It may mean nothing to you, babe
Again it's been quite a while

But oh, when the right time comes again
Hold on, hold on, my friend
Keep what you know to be right sealed in tight

Painting spirals with dreams I'm already dead
I think I made you up inside my head
To fit a story I stole from this book I read
When I first made you up inside my head

It's only time till the bell jar
Descends again to its place
The stale air and the cold stare
Of eyes curved out of shape
Isolated, displayed
Deep down I know I'll never escape
It seems distorted to you, babe
To me it's clear as day

But oh, it's a long line to the end
Hold on, hold on, my friend
The lid will lift, you'll be free, there's much more to see
The lid will lift, you'll be free, there's much more to see
