Lyrics: When the smoke clears, what is left? Goodbye, goodbye You drop a kid in gasoline and give him a lit match And a slap him on the ass when he lights himself aflame Like the man who pays his wife two hundred pounds to have sex Because it's the only way he can come Like the girl, born a Princess too early or too late Who waits and waits and knows she'll never be Queen What’s left? The senile cat's incessant meow The children's favourite canned cow The soundtrack of an unkept house The soundtrack of an abandoned spouse What's left? The whirring cogs of futile despair The anguish of answered prayers The writhing mass of moaning torment What's left? Doctor murphy strikes again I join the ranks of the superfluous men ? still dies alone Doctor murphy ??? unknown Doctor murphy strikes a-gain I join the ranks of the soon to be?? ? ? What is left? What is left? What is left? WHAT IS LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEFFTTT?? I'm hiding from the government And my fictional wife From my dreams, from my memories, I’m running from my life I'm hiding from you I'm hiding from you I'm hiding from my mistress And her dream sex texts I’m hiding from my family I’m hiding from the explanation of all I’ve been doing wrong I'm running from your lips I'm running from your mouth I’m hiding from your room I’m hiding from doubt I’m hiding from living I’m hiding from everything When did I meet you? Maybe two years ago So much has happened since You were a million fears ago So many since have taken your place A million more things to keep me awake I don't sleep any more, I just rest my eyes I'm running from your lips I'm running from your cries Your convulsions that crack the crust of the earth Your pantomime moans So forced, so rehearsed You're the first I call I hate the sound of your voice I hate the words you use The phrases you think choice I hate the mask you wear because I've worn it so many times before I’m hiding from you I’m hiding from you I’m hiding from you I’m hiding from you ? ? In the german black forest of which I know nothing I dream you ride a black horse Back and forth back and forth back and forth With no compass to follow or landmark to reach You perambulate aimlessly through nondescript trees In the nondescript forest of which I know nothing and can't visualise save your faint silhouette I can't see your face It's ?? In the forest It's blocked by ?? Of your horse And I clutch and it evades I wake from the dream No, no, none of it’s true I don’t sleep, I don’t sleep! I wander through cowardice, thought and regret Through nothingness, through sagas that never took place Your kiss, never given Your touch, never felt Your words, never spoken Your kiss, never dealt Your lies, all around Your deceit, infinite I’m hiding from your never ending torrent of shit Like the spouse happily married That still dies alone Like the world famous actor who's still completely unknown Like the german black forest You’re nothing to me but a name I don't know anything about you?? You're nothing but a name And it’s only an invocation? That makes me play the game Of dreaming that I want you, dreaming that I need you Dreaming that I love you ??? I don't give a fuck about you I'm hiding from you I'm hiding from you I'm hiding from you And what’s left of the lover Who doesn’t exist? Who knows not how many fantasies Involve her kiss? And what’s left of the dreamer Who dreams, and dreams, and dreams and dreams…. And who thinks he isn’t dreaming Thinks that he is free And what of the endless, heedless, needless are we Will it end Will it ever let me be? No, When the smoke clears, it rains, it pours When it rains, it pours When it rains, it pours ?? it’s all a fucking ? When the smoke clears, what's left?
This was so amazing live, I love this song and can't wait to hear the recorded version
morgan is such an insanely good drummer it blows my mind watching him play
Lyrics:
When the smoke clears, what is left?
Goodbye, goodbye
You drop a kid in gasoline and give him a lit match
And a slap him on the ass when he lights himself aflame
Like the man who pays his wife two hundred pounds to have sex
Because it's the only way he can come
Like the girl, born a Princess too early or too late
Who waits and waits and knows she'll never be Queen
What’s left?
The senile cat's incessant meow
The children's favourite canned cow
The soundtrack of an unkept house
The soundtrack of an abandoned spouse
What's left?
The whirring cogs of futile despair
The anguish of answered prayers
The writhing mass of moaning torment
What's left?
Doctor murphy strikes again
I join the ranks of the superfluous men
? still dies alone
Doctor murphy ??? unknown
Doctor murphy strikes a-gain
I join the ranks of the soon to be??
?
?
What is left?
What is left?
What is left?
WHAT IS LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEFFTTT??
I'm hiding from the government
And my fictional wife
From my dreams, from my memories,
I’m running from my life
I'm hiding from you
I'm hiding from you
I'm hiding from my mistress
And her dream sex texts
I’m hiding from my family
I’m hiding from the explanation
of all I’ve been doing wrong
I'm running from your lips
I'm running from your mouth
I’m hiding from your room
I’m hiding from doubt
I’m hiding from living
I’m hiding from everything
When did I meet you?
Maybe two years ago
So much has happened since
You were a million fears ago
So many since have taken your place
A million more things to keep me awake
I don't sleep any more,
I just rest my eyes
I'm running from your lips
I'm running from your cries
Your convulsions that crack
the crust of the earth
Your pantomime moans
So forced, so rehearsed
You're the first I call
I hate the sound of your voice
I hate the words you use
The phrases you think choice
I hate the mask you wear
because I've worn it so many times before
I’m hiding from you
I’m hiding from you
I’m hiding from you
I’m hiding from you
?
?
In the german black forest of which I know nothing
I dream you ride a black horse
Back and forth
back and forth
back and forth
With no compass to follow
or landmark to reach
You perambulate aimlessly through nondescript trees
In the nondescript forest
of which I know nothing
and can't visualise
save your faint silhouette
I can't see your face
It's ?? In the forest
It's blocked by ?? Of your horse
And I clutch and it evades
I wake from the dream
No, no, none of it’s true
I don’t sleep, I don’t sleep!
I wander through cowardice, thought
and regret
Through nothingness, through sagas
that never took place
Your kiss, never given
Your touch, never felt
Your words, never spoken
Your kiss, never dealt
Your lies, all around
Your deceit, infinite
I’m hiding from your never ending torrent of shit
Like the spouse happily married
That still dies alone
Like the world famous actor
who's still completely unknown
Like the german black forest
You’re nothing to me but a name
I don't know anything about you??
You're nothing but a name
And it’s only an invocation?
That makes me play the game
Of dreaming that I want you, dreaming that I need you
Dreaming that I love you
???
I don't give a fuck about you
I'm hiding from you
I'm hiding from you
I'm hiding from you
And what’s left of the lover
Who doesn’t exist?
Who knows not how many fantasies
Involve her kiss?
And what’s left of the dreamer
Who dreams, and dreams, and dreams and dreams….
And who thinks he isn’t dreaming
Thinks that he is free
And what of the endless, heedless, needless are we
Will it end
Will it ever let me be?
No, When the smoke clears, it rains, it pours
When it rains, it pours
When it rains, it pours
?? it’s all a fucking ?
When the smoke clears, what's left?
"I join the ranks of the superfluous men"
