Sunsets For Somebody Else

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 know I've seen your face somewhere

Selling something, some big idea

I know I've seen that vacant stare

Selling sunsets for somebody else

You find yourself asking yourself

What is any of it worth

You find yourself looking up at night

From the bottom of the Earth

And oh, can this world not afford to sleep anymore?

And oh, did your sheep start jumping?

They grow out their teeth

Did they need a little something more than this?

The taste of trouble on your lips

Cause now they're biting at your thoughts

You tell yourself just to turn away

But you know you've already lost

The smell of rain and the song of wind

Can never be paid in full

You try in vain to account fort this mess

Nd everything that you stole

And oh, can this world not afford to sleep anymore?

And oh, did your sheep start jumping?

They grow out their teeth

Did they need a little something more than this?

Cause now they're biting at your feet

They got you running form this place

Now they're breathing down your neck

Your eyes look lonely in your face

I see you looking just out of frame

What is appalling you there

Cause things can never stay the same

So what is keeping you here

And oh, can this world not afford to sleep anymore?

And oh, did your sheep start jumping?

They grow out their teeth

And need little something, now every time you think

Well, they'll be biting at your thoughts

And every time you blink well you'll be so damn far

But you want more than this

I know I've seen your face somewhere
