Only Protest Gives a Hope of Life
Sadly it tells me that our luck has changed.
When I met you halfway to a place we call madness,
With a rock in my heart, I sank in despair.
In the dusty playground where I first saw your face.
Like a music chair dance, we keep changing our place.

But you've never got a line
Some failed creation
None of it was worth my dime

But you love yourself more than anyone, yeah
Did you trip the wire?
Did the whole thing blow?
Did you get in time to the shade?
Will you come alive
when it's all over?
Over!
Darling beware
You're no acrobat
You shot the dove
Must believe you're the colossal coming
Cruel and unfair
You'll always be that
Sure as I'm gone
I hit the ground and I'm more than running
Darling beware
Darling beware
You shot the dove
You shot the dove
Cruel and unfair
You'll always be that
Sure as I'm gone
I hit the ground and I'm more than running
