In a stripped down life
you’re a constant theme
you’re a clear blue sky
For a scattered mind
catapult through time
like an endless rhyme
brilliantly exploding
And I just can’t pretend
Oh where we began
is close to where we’ll end
yeah and you should know
if it should come to blows
I won’t let you down
I won’t let this go
On the twenty bus
mirrored your face
it was so messed up
with your eyes pinned wide
you were lost inside
you were dead and gone
yeah you’re dead and gone
but I just can’t pretend
Oh were we began
is close to where we’ll end
yeah and you should know
If it should come to blows
I won’t let you down
I won’t let this go
Now here’s the test
do more with less
as we spiral up
now the watchers watched
and the pool goes still
and the voices stop
now and forever
And I just can’t pretend
oh where we begin
is close to where we’ll end
yeah and you should know
if it should come to blows
I won’t let you down
I won’t let this go
I won’t let you down, I won’t let this go
No I won’t let you down
I won’t let this go, go, go...........
