PLAY dEUS | How to replace it
HOW TO REPLACE IT
Did you ever get to think about
How to replace it?
Now the night turns in
Into a poker tell
And the day runs dry
Where once was a well”
An enormous chill
That you need to quell
Hear the fisherman’s cough
And the seagulls cry
How they call your bluff
When you touch the sky
Do you ever feel (after setting sail)
What looks far away
Doesn’t get any closer by
We don’t know enough of what we have until it’s gone
They say it’s heaven over there until the devil has another say
You pray
As if time will ever tell
Politics and sympathies, 200 different kinds of glee
I wonder what the world would be
When everybody’s in the sea
I wait
As if time will ever tell
Let the preachers whine
They haven’t got a clue
When the signal dies
What do I really lose
There are many ways
How to replace
These tired lines
Of these modern blues
So the summer creaks
When the daughter speaks
It is in our gift to plug up the leaks?
Do you ever think
As if time will ever tell?
Garbage in the mail today, I’ll send them on a holiday
Someone should tell them they should stay
Around the clock, eternity
We’ll see as if time will ever tell
Suspicion is the lightning rod
Believe in you, believe in God
I tried it out, I liked it not
I love your feet, they make me hot
We wait as if time will ever tell
We are careful
We’re not running to the hills
Our feathers will be sticking to our skin
What are we in for?
When the night comes, we won’t falter
We had years of light and we get smaller
We will win
What are we in for
Was it good for you?
‘Cause I can hardly speak
When the flesh is strong
Then the mind is weak
Still we soldier on
We turn up the noise
So we don’t hear the gong
Of our losing streak
Do you ever think about how to replace it?
How the night turns in into a fire hose
For you to get your daily dose
You stand naked as the cold wind blows
Leave no traces, abandon everything
Don’t replace it, you won’t miss a thing
And feel
As if time will ever tell
Tracks are covered when you’re looking back
Names and lovers lost under the stack
It seems
Now it’s time to break the spell
Now break it up
Now break it up
As if time will ever tell
