Russian Literature
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.
Modern architecture
Already left to decay
You don't know what you're breathing in
What it is, I couldn't say
We'll meet in russian literature
For floode day
Travel in transpenines
She said she'd wait
More empty buildings
For invisible men
No market vaule to justify the price of the rent
Ignorance isn't bliss
Familiarity still enters contempt
We're going to need sometime
But she said she'd wait for me
(Wait for me)
(Wait for me)
Are you hopeful or just gullible?
Are you hopeful or just gullible?
She won't be saved
We can't be saved
I can't live my life being nervous about tomorrow
I already knew her name!
I already knew
Well I knew her name
There's a news blackout
'Cus it just got worse
Status depends, on the size of your purse
There it is again that lock of hair that won't sit still
Our earthly pleasure distract us against our will
(Against our will)
Are you hopeful or just gullible?
Are you hopeful or just gullible?
We won't be saved
She can't be saved
I can't live my life feeling nervous about tomorrow
I already knew her name
I already knew
She won't be saved
We can't be saved
I can't live my life feeling nervous about tomorrow
I already knew her name!
I already knew
Well I knew her name!
