V1
The light erupts, the world wakes up
Another day here you’re stuck
For paradise resides beyond the blue
and clouds are no place for shoes
The heads of those who grind below
Start looking like stepping stones
And as you trek you paid them no respect
snapping a million backs and necks
PRE 1
Well uh oh, didn’t you notice
while you were heaven bound
The trumpet sounds?
CHORUS
You never know when you say it
That you said it the last time
Your final time
It went so fast, you’re out of tries
This was your last goodbye
When the credits role will you know
it was you last line, your final line
So sad this was your last goodbye
V2
Beneath your bones an engine glows
Driving you far from home
The gates above will never open up
If you shun everyone you oughta love
PRE 2
Well uh oh, didn’t you notice
The way you chase all your dreams
Is your pathology?
CHORUS
You never know when you say it
That you said it the last time
Your final time
It went so fast, you’re out of tries
This was your last goodbye
When the credits role will you know
it was you last line, your final line
So sad this was your last goodbye
PRE 3
Well uh oh, didn’t you notice
While you lit up the sky
Your lamp ran dry?
CHORUS
You never know when you say it
That you said it the last time
Your final time
It went so fast, you’re out of tries
This was your last goodbye
When the credits role will you know
it was you last line, your final line
So sad this was your last
So sad this was your last
So sad this was your last goodbye
A beautiful mix of rock and folk with thoughtful, story-like lyrics and beautiful harmonies... one of my favorite all time albums. So hard to pick between Curses and the Garden. anodyneavian
