[length: 05:56]
[00:23.47]She likes to sleep with the radio on
[00:25.27]So she can dream of her favorite song
[00:30.63]The one that no one has ever sung since she was small
[00:34.20]She’ll never know that she made it up
[00:45.03]She had a soul and we ate it up
[00:50.50]Thrown away like a paper cup
[00:54.12]The music falls
[00:59.53]The only flaw in her detailed plan
[01:04.04]Is where she wins back the love of her man
[01:08.54]Everyone knows that he’s never coming back
[01:18.41]He took her heart and she took his name
[01:23.96]He couldn’t stand taking all the blame
[01:28.48]He left her only with guilt and shame and then she cracked
[01:38.36]Won’t it be dull when we rid ourselves
[01:45.59]Of all these demons haunting us
[01:50.07]To keep us company
[01:58.15]In the dream I refuse to have
[02:02.78]She falls asleep in a lukewarm bath
[02:07.24]We’re left to deal with the aftermath again
[02:11.73]On behalf of humanity
[02:21.62]I will fight for your sanity
[02:26.19]How profound such profanity can be
[02:37.97]Won’t it be dull when we rid ourselves
[02:43.34]Of all these demons haunting us
[02:47.86]To keep us company
[02:55.05]Won’t it be odd to be happy like we
[03:02.24]Always thought we’re supposed to feel
[03:06.70]But never seem to be
[03:14.96]Near where I live there’s a viaduct
[03:19.41]Where people jump when they’re out of luck
[03:25.77]Raining down on the cars and trucks below
[03:29.33]They’ve put a net there to catch their fall
[03:39.28]Like it’ll stop anyone at all
[03:43.71]What they don’t know is when nature calls, you go
[03:48.34]They say that Jesus and mental health
[04:00.92]Are just for those who can help themselves
[04:03.61]But what good is that when you live in hell on earth?
[04:08.16]From the very fear that makes you want to die
[04:18.96]Is just the same as what keeps you alive
[04:23.45]It’s way more trouble than some suicide is worth
[04:31.61]Won’t it be dull when we rid ourselves
[04:39.77]Of all these demons haunting us
[04:44.22]To keep us company
[04:52.39]Won’t it be odd to be happy like we
[04:58.63]Always thought we’re supposed to feel
[05:04.12]But never seem to be
[05:11.38]Hard to admit I fought the war on drugs
[05:16.79]My hands were tied and the phone was bugged
[05:21.20]Another died and the world just shrugged it off
[05:31.11]Year of Release: 2003
