A Time To Stand

Lyrics It's a sad and beautiful world A Time To Stand

 735

It's a sad and beautiful world


So they were free, eventually
They had been spared a lot of sympathy
Closing in the jail within
Yet it somehow felt like home to them

They had drawn a window on the bricks
To glimpse the outside world
The stunning view was tempting
Yet they seemed so unprepared

So they made their escape
And world stood with its mouth agape
Flipping coins, aim, shoot, destroy
And then the plane just spat them out

Endless roads and endless boredom
Kings in queensized beds
Bright looks through the windshield
With barb wired crowns sewn to their heads

And everything changes
And everything evens out, eventually

Winter fell, an anvil from hell
Clenching throats and breaking wayward wills
The boys felt just one step ahead
But all they did was getting old instead

A conversation later
They were found in euphoria
A golden spirit
And the hearts of warriors

Making big plans for tomorrow
Always fuckin' up today
Surrounded by the same old sorrow
And the same old bunks again

And everything changes
And everything evens out, eventually

And all that we believe in
Is at our fingertips
This may sound pathetic
But nothing ever changes
If we don't and

I'll never forget
WHO KEPT ME COMPANY
I'll never forget
WHO ALWAYS HAD MY BACK

Tonight let's make this promise
That what we started must not die
Cause tonight we are invincible
And the sun arises with every new goodbye

HEY HEY HEY, TONIGHT
We are invincible
TONIGHT, HEY HEY HEY, TONIGHT
We are invincible

And everything changes
And everything evens out, eventually

TONIGHT
We are invincible
TONIGHT
Yet so predictable

Tonight we own this pavement
Tonight we burn this city down
Our own attainment
That is if we don't get stuck with the TV

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics IT'S A SAD AND BEAUTIFUL WORLD of A TIME TO STAND is also present in the album You are here (2011)
