AstroWhat’s so bad about the way you live?
Haven’t you been scared of the dark too long?Wouldn’t you like to know what’s left?Don’t start‘Cause I felt it second-handAnd it hurts to know I can’tDon’t you feel the smoke?It’s filling up your lungsBut go tell me please:Why not smell the roses while you’re here?
Don’t wander till you’re carbon againDon’t wonder where you should’ve beenSweeter than honey, blood in the fireFollow the money sent over wireSmoke in the hallway, funeral pyreCall me a liar againDon’t wander
Ashes to ashes, sing me a prayer nowReady or not ‘cause everything’s there nowTell me it’s fair now to cryAnd stay up at night
Telling me something about the stormThat’s funWouldn’t it be easier to just give upBut there’s something they’re not sayingYou know how long it’s takingFor someone up above to know what’s wrongBut go tell me please:What’s so bad about the way you live?
Don’t wander till you’re carbon againDon’t wonder where you should’ve beenSweeter than honey, blood in the fireFollow the money sent over wireSmoke in the hallway, funeral pyreCall me a liar againDon’t wander
Sweeter than honey, blood in the fireFollow the money sent over wireSmoke in the hallway, funeral pyreSave me the words, give in to desireAshes to ashes, sing me a prayer nowReady or not, ‘cause everything’s there nowCopy his word so everything’s fair nowEverything’s dead, ‘cause you always stare downInto the hallway crawl on the floorWitness the man who’s locking the doorFlooding the garden forevermoreThat’s what government’s for!All of the branches that stem from the centerFall to the earth by the time you surrenderAnd all of the kids will never rememberThe times that you cried and you failed to defend her
Don’t wander till you’re carbon againDon’t wonder where you should’ve beenSweeter than honey, blood in the fireFollow the money sent over wireSmoke in the hallway, funeral pyreCall me a liar againDon’t wander till you’re carbon againDon’t wonder where you should’ve beenSweeter than honey, blood in the fireFollow the money sent over wireSmoke in the hallway, funeral pyreCall me a liar
