Silhouettes
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.
We are lonely, we are sad
Downright grim's the best we've ever had
Something preying, on your mind
Everybody's got an axe to grind
Ba ba, ba ba, ba ba ba
Ba ba, ba ba, ba ba ba
Here we are, clutching straws
Hope's a thing that leaves you sore
Do do do do do-do-do
Do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do-do-do
Do do do do do do do do do do
Ba ba, ba ba, ba ba ba
Ba ba, ba ba, ba ba ba-ba
Here we are, clutching straws
Here we are
Here we are, here we are, clutching straws
Ba ba, ba ba, ba ba ba-ba
Ba ba, ba ba, ba ba ba baa baa baa
