Lyrics
First Wave Intact
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.
The open way's too dangerous
Listen close they're watching us
One more time you're losing us
Hold still they're shooting us
First wave down
I wonder when they're coming back
First wave down
As leaves from modern trees
Rest on walls like these
I wonder what you're waiting for
I wonder what you're working for
I wonder what you're living for
I wonder what you're dying for
First wave down
I wonder when they're coming back
First wave intact
As leaves from modern trees
Rest on walls like these
The rest is theft
The walls don't move does it change
Does it make you feel ashamed
No dreams no curse
Could we make things even worse
Don't mean it's right
But it makes you see the light
