Ballad Of Bodmin Pill
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.
Smash glass against the wall
Curse the music on the radio
That the neighbours play
Door slams, she turns her head
Watches through the window
As he pulls away
Funny how your racing brain
Drives you so mad
When all the while you feel so mumb
Too old to be clean far too young
To be broken
Like an army we come
Cut back, left behind
I watched you self - destructing
Oh so many times
Shot down, once again
Sitting in a chair crying
What am I going to do with my life?
Just learn to hide the way
That you really feel
Never let them know that you're scared
But understand that you're not
The special only one
Watch us now, watch us real close
How we all dance with this fire
Cos it's all that we know
And as the spotlight turns toward us
We all try our best to show
We are lost we are freaks
We are crippled, we are weak
We are the heirs, we are the true heirs
To all the world
Let's go build a fire down on the empty
Beach when the waves are crashing high
White heat purify as the sparks fly up
Into the great black sky
Sacrifice these crutches to the crackling
Flames
Stand as silhouettes against the dawn
It's far too late to try to sleep now
Seems I'm never tired any more
I want to dance with this fire
Cos it's all that I know
We are lost we are freaks
And we try our best to show
I am lost I'm a freak ha ha
