Keys To The 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.
Institutions, you went through them
Oh, from the age of five
And no one loved you
Cared if you lived or you died
Here we go again
In your room your idle pleasures
The sinking sands fell through the net
No one to catch ya
Here we go again
In your room your idle pleasures
The sinking sands
Perhaps I could make it better
I've got the keys to the world yeah
Oh mixed up world
I've got the keys to the world yeah
Oh, suicidal world
I've got the keys to the world yeah
Oh mixed up world
I've got the keys to the world yeah
What we gonna do when we get there?
When we get there ?
Confrontations, you expect them
Oh from someone who never loved
And there's no point fighting
The truth is they'll never return
Here we go again
In your room your idle pleasures
The sinking sands, you fell through the net
No one to catch ya
Here we go again
In your room your idle pleasures
The sinking sands
Perhaps I could make it better
I've got the keys to the world yeah
Oh mixed up world
I've got the keys to the world yeah
What we gonna do when we get there?
I've got the keys to the world yeah
Oh suicidal world
I've got the keys to the world yeah
What we gonna do when we get there?
Climb any mountain, and I swim in the sea
(When we get there)
And I practice my logic, cause of what will be will be
And I climb any mountain, and I swim in the sea
And I practice my logic, cause of what will be will be
(When we get there)
Put the knife back, put the stabbing arm in
Take your time, let me begin
It's like a slow train moving out of your head
Understand, before life is death
But tic-toc, the clock, and my time, in a vicious thing, your mind
Unwind me, Lord untie me
Come on, any place you want
Let's keep it moving on
Don't want you here on this spot
Let me speak my mind, oh baby let me
Untie you, untie you
Hmmmmm
Now fly-a, fire, fire, fire
