I've Been Delivered tab

, , , 

                            
I could break free from the
           
Wood of a coffin
      
If I need
              
But nothin's hard as
          
Gettin' free from places
             
I've already been


I've been waste-deep
                 
In the   burnin' meadows
       
Of my mind
       
In the engine
           
In cold December
                       
Shootin' fire from the hose

                  
Now turn off your lights
                        
'Cause I'm     not comin' home
                                      
'Til I'm delivered for the first time

                     
I was first-born to a   parade
                
That follows in rows
                         
Down a narrow cold black river
           
Faceless shadows
         
Movin' slow


I would move swift when
                                
The   sounds of a trumpet would blow
               
I've been the puppet
                 
I've been the strings
                           
I know the vacant face it brings

                    
Now the bells of curfew
                         
They may ring before I'm through

But soon
                                     
I'll be delivered   for the first time


You might keep clean
                              
In the   back of an angel motorcade
                           
It doesn't matter who walks in
                                
You know, the joke is still the same

You'll just wake up
                    
Like a   disposable lover
      
Decomposed
           
I've been gone
             
I've been remembered
            
I've been alive
                
I've been the ghost

                       
So now, if downtown explodes
                        
I'll still     be on this road
                                       
'Til I'm delivered for the first time


I have drawn blood
         
From the   neckline
                      
When vampires were in fashion
             
You know I'd   even learn
    
To cut my throat
                        
If I thought I could fit in


'Cause I, I once heard
          
That you gotta learn
                        
How to blend in to this mess
                
Where nothin's hard
           
Nothin's precious
                           
And nothin's smooth or flawless

              
Now, no more amused
                        
Just     screaming to be delivered
                     
For the first time

                       
Now I'm 10 miles in the   deep
                
And mighty blue sea
                        
Looking back, towards a long white beach
                        
Burnin' up into yellow flames


And I just wave back
                          
Like a little boy up on a pony
       
In a show
                
'Cause I can't fix
            
Something this complex
                            
Any more than I can build a rose

                       
So just keep on letting go
                    
'Cause I     must be close
                                       
To being delivered for the first time


Now I'd rather bleed out
                         
A long stream from being lonely
           
And feel blessed
                        
Well than drown, laying face down
                  
In a puddle of respect

I was once lost
                         
In the corridors of the arena
         
In blindfolds
               
I've been the bull
                
I've been the whip
                               
I just pulled down the matador

                     
So now, turn on your lights
                    
'Cause I'm     comin' home
                                        
I've been delivered for the first time
