[Verse 1]
Yes, I’m only
a man
Judgements of something ancient
Clocking my time as finished
The same as all replacements
Ignorance is complacency
Why I am purposely faded
No stand, no sit, no stopping
Ripping through the neon prophecies
Got let off by a ticket stub
My time is fading fast
Through your m
outh and out y
our
[Chorus]
(You never do
what you say)
Say what?
(Shine till the sun comes up) Come down
(You oughta wash your hands and pray) For what?
(Shaking hands, swapping dirty blood) Pass it round
(You never do what you say) Say what?
(Shine till the sun comes up) For now
(You promise t
hat you’ll com
e around?) I’l
l be around
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
N.C.
So I fear, but I don’t know what it is
So I want, but I pretend I don’t need
So is the pain of the stop of a lover’s kiss
I throw my pages all away like shaking wrists
So shake me down
(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down, shake me down)
(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down, shake me down)
(So shake me up)
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
(You never do
what you say)
Say what?
(Shine till the sun comes up) Come down
(You oughta wash your hands and pray) For what?
(Shaking hands, swapping dirty blood) Pass it round
(You never do what you say) Say what?
(Shine till the sun comes up) For now
(You promise t
hat you’ll com
e around?) I’l
l be around
[Interlude]
[Synth interlude]
[Verse 3]
I tell me it a
in’t hard
As I hold my breath, thinking why
Tell me to my beating heart
That I know for sure
(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down, shake me down)
Better than I can know for sure
What is real
My mistakes bend like payphone metal
I never know just what will come
As our hands bind together
Realer than my children
Longer than a trillion
Get what I am given, forever (So shake me up)
[Chorus]
(You never do
what you say)
Say what?
(Shine till the sun comes up) Come down
(You oughta wash your hands and pray) For what?
(Shaking hands, swapping dirty blood) Pass it round
(You never do what you say) Say what?
(Shine till the sun comes up) For now
(You promise t
hat you’ll com
e around?)
