Intro

Verse 1

where have all the singers gone? gone to churches one by one the streets have been

quiet for so long

 where has all the music gone? the radio keeps everyone at home, slow dancing

through the telephone

 and then we die and no one knows and theres just the sound of the radios

 while the counterfeits who hate are dreams moan joyful tones through the tv screen

 but i can't believe what i have seen now everyone hums the same damn melody

 and the pushers know the junkies will come back

 if no one ever understands the trap.

Verse 2

 and for those young with out their mouths echoes break the windows in an empty

house and no one wants to hang around

not long ago i was just a babe when targets chased the armed parades they ran in

rhythym with the notes that played

 and we'd sing along with the fallen rain but that ain't how it feels today

 theres the butchers with those electric bones fired hearts like empty bombs

explode

 now everyone's back on their own dying fast i am not growing old

 yes the lonely know the only way is down

 and not everybody comes back around

Verse 3

whose song has stopped for the voice of god? angels or fools call em what you want

we all make due with what we've got

 you are hard wired for eternity eyes roll back so the heart can sleep

conversations bite the ankles of infancy

 you and i are a stupid symphony reborn and dying constantly

 like a jukebox wind on the ocean blows take this change and make the silence gold

 its deafening out here on my own i suppose thats just the way it goes

 but the solitude proves everybody wrong

 cuz everybody sings a lonesome song
