Intro: / /G
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
/ / /G
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
