Sad, Sad World
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.
So what's your game plan
Walking among the wasteland
I guess you out ran all of the people you can
A line on your hand tells me that you might know the way
You see those faces blinking up out the darkness now
It's just the traces of everyone you've loved and how
So don't erase it maybe then you'll know what to say
So let it fall
When it meets you on the other side baby
Let it fall
We're all prisoners in a simple mind baby
Let it fall
You can grip my arm to pass the time baby
Let it fall, yeah
Will you help me paint a smile
On this sad, sad world
Will you help me paint a smile
On this sad, sad world
Your lashes dancing making my aching heart sing
The lights are flashing stirring up all this feeling
My hands are burning every time I'm touching your face
Let me surround you with all the love that you deserve
The dawn'll tell you of everything that you are worth
The blood it runs through everything we know of our fate
So let it fall
When it meets you on the other side baby
Let it fall
We're all prisoners in a simple mind baby
Let it fall
You can grip my arm to pass the time baby
Let it fall, yeah
Will you help me paint a smile
On this sad, sad world
Will you help me paint a smile
On this sad, sad world
So will you help me paint a smile
On this sad, sad world
So come and help me paint a smile
On this sad, sad world
