We`re character actors from the Tower of Babel
Bewildered, burned out hardly able
To sit astride the high wire cable
It`s hard to balance, a little unstable.
Through broken eyes and contact lenses
(I) Watched you draw your future tenses
See kisses of flame blow out of your lips
You`re back telling me your Apocalypse.

When the slowburn sunset come along
You`ve gotta stay the night
I gotta think that you might.
We`ve tried a handful of bills and a handful of pills
We`ve tried making movies from a volume of stills

See birds breaking surface on a silent lake.
But don`t get me wrong, I`ll be strong
When I`m back on the Isle of Avalon
Dont get me wrong, I`ll be strong
When the slow burn sunset come along
You`ve got to stay the night
I`ve got to think that you might.
Don`t try (to) make it easy, it`ll cut you down to size
