NEON GOD
Tomorrow you'll see it through
The clouded out disguises put you in the room
And though I wandered out alone
A thousand lights abounded on our home
And I remember every sound it made
The clouded out disguises and the grave
So yeah, I know I'm still afraid
Of letting go of choices I have made
All delighted people raise their hands
The clouded out disguises put you in the room
And though I wandered out alone
A thousand lights abounded on our home
And I remember every sound it made
The clouded out disguises and the grave
So yeah, I know I'm still afraid
Of letting go of choices I have made
All delighted people raise their hands
And I took you by the sleeve
No other reason than to be leading your leading man
And you woke up with a fright
Our lives depended on the visions through the night
All we had always, all we had always wanted to before
The hurricane inclined us, grappling on the floor
All delighted people raise their hands
No other reason than to be leading your leading man
And you woke up with a fright
Our lives depended on the visions through the night
All we had always, all we had always wanted to before
The hurricane inclined us, grappling on the floor
All delighted people raise their hands
Still the force of nature spurned
Ideas of strength and style abated by the burning basement
All delight people raise their hands
Ideas of strength and style abated by the burning basement
All delight people raise their hands
I'm not easily confused
The trouble with the storm inside us grew
But I had so much to give
In spite of all the terror and abuse
The trouble with the storm inside us grew
But I had so much to give
In spite of all the terror and abuse
And the people bowed and prayed
And what difference does it make for you and me?
All delighted people raise their hands
And what difference does it make for you and me?
All delighted people raise their hands
And the people bowed and prayed
And what difference does it make?
It doesn't matter anyway
The world surrounds us with it's hate
And what difference does it make?
It doesn't matter anyway
The world surrounds us with it's hate
Hello darkness my old friend it breaks my heart
I've come to strangle you in spite of what you'd like
And don't be a rascal, don't be a laughing dog in spite of odds
All I'm deciphering from the spirits in the light within
All delighted people raise their hands
I've come to strangle you in spite of what you'd like
And don't be a rascal, don't be a laughing dog in spite of odds
All I'm deciphering from the spirits in the light within
All delighted people raise their hands
In restless dreams I walked alone I walked alive
The clouded out disguises left me in a dream of lightness
All delighted people raise their hands
The clouded out disguises left me in a dream of lightness
All delighted people raise their hands
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made
And what difference does it make?
I love you so much anyway
And on your breast I gently laid
Your arms surround me in the lake
I am joined with you forever
To the neon God they made
And what difference does it make?
I love you so much anyway
And on your breast I gently laid
Your arms surround me in the lake
I am joined with you forever
I tried to save the things I made
Oh! But the world is a mess, oh! But the world is a mess!
And what difference does it make if the world is a mess?
If the world is a mess! I tried my best I tried in vain!
Oh! But the world is a mess! Oh! But the world is a mess!
Oh! But the world is a mess, oh! But the world is a mess!
And what difference does it make if the world is a mess?
If the world is a mess! I tried my best I tried in vain!
Oh! But the world is a mess! Oh! But the world is a mess!
(Suffer not the child among you or shall you die young?)
