lyrics

We fight for white teeth
that are straight as a tightrope
and arms that are wound around something
that tells us we belong.

and the empty space
in our minds could fill a football field
while time marches musically on
and on.

and by the time I am able
to tell you we're alone
you'll be gone.

and by the time I am able
to tell you we're alone
you'll be gone.

We hope for the best
when the worst is bound to happen
and the Roman pillars crumbling 'neath our feet
cannot bring us to the ground.

We read about imaginary friends
with all-knowing fingers
striking down our adversaries good,
'cause we're the ones he chose to love.

and by the time I remove the smoke and mirrors
you'll be gone.

and by the time I remove the smoke and mirrors
you'll be gone.
