Lyrics
There Are Debts
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.
There are debts to be paid
there are plans to be made
when you find that your lover
has been lying
little bombs get set off
in your mind and the soft
hand of time on your body
burns like acid
and time blows away these things
do you hate when I say these things?
and all your troubles in time subside
they go down, down, down
there are layers to this thing
to this old vibrating string
and our worries can be settled
in a theory paper
I don't forgive you
but I know where to put things in the whole
scheme of everything, we are crazy
but no one's perfect
and time blows away these things
do you hate when I say these things?
and all your troubles in time subside
they go down, down, down
