Bright Eyes "Ladder Song" |
No one knows where the ladder goes You're gonna lose what you love the most You're not alone in anything You're not unique and dying Feel estranged every now and then Fall asleep reading science-fiction I wanna fly in your silver ship Let Jesus hang and Buddha sit It's on now The days are long now The ups and the sundowns The twisting mind If I've got to go first I'll do it on my terms I'm tired of traders Always changing sides They were friends of mine... Don't hang around when the promise breaks You'll be there when the next one's made Kiss the feet of a charlatan Some imagined freedom All the rest is predictable You can say you're the first to know Bought a mantra to concentrate Call on more hissing snake. I know now How it's gonna turn out We gotta calm down Or I'll lose my place Gotta get to the centre Gotta get to the concert Run off with a dancer Gonna celebrate Welcome the new age Covered in warrior paint Lights from the jungle to the sky Seen how a star's born Looks just like a blood orange Don't it just make you want to cry? Precious friend of mine... Well, I know when it's finally done This whole life's a hallucination You're not alone in anything You're not alone and trying to be. Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
