Lyrics
The Watchman
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.
True this is the one thing no one wanted,
True this is the worst of all possible ends,
If all you see round here,
Will one day disappear, why then deny it?
Why try to pretend?
Who knows what's real?
It's no big deal,
It's just a little confused,
So just let it go, we'll take control,
And you can all sleep better tonight.
You looking over your shoulder,
You climbing over the wall,
In your acts of love or crime,
We'll be watching all the time,
Step out of line,
And it's straight back to your cage.
If you're in for all,
The long haul with no wonder cures.
Keep an eye on passers-by,
And keep your hands on all that's yours.
(this stinks, change it!)
Who knows what's real?
It's no big deal,
It's just a little confused,
So just let it go, we'll take control,
And you can all sleep better tonight.
Who knows what's real?
It's no big deal,
It's just a little confused,
Just let it go, we'll take control,
And that's the end of this transmission,
Goodnight.
