Straws
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm sorry to wake you from
Your sleep
Now baby open up your eyes
We have to go downstairs
Find some shelter
Get some help
And stay alive
How am I supposed to save you
In this chaos
Clinging, please don't die
Where are the defenses
We were promised, oh I hope that they've arrived
Bring it on, the misery, tonight
Come and tell the story here tonight
We never ever have to even look
No, no
No, no
No, no
Turn away, we never have to look
No, no
No, no
No, no
Put your eyes on mine forever
This will be our last endeavor
Baby we won't ever have to look
Daddy's in the Army, Daddy's in the Army
And, Mommy's joining too
God help all the countries
They do know what they do
We never ever have to even look
No, no
No, no
No, no
Turn away, we never have to look
No, no
No, no
No, no
Hell bound in the senses
Much too late to point and blame
When questioning why
Let's pretend that we're dancing
As in yesterday, when it was stars that
Filled the sky
Yeah, sky
Bring it on, the misery, tonight
Come and tell the story here tonight
We never ever have to even look
No, no
No, no
No, no
Turn away, we never have to look
No, no
No, no
No, no
Put your eyes on mine forever
This will be our last endeavor
Baby we won't ever have to look
