lyrics
Goodnight
Something’s bubbling deep inside.
Looking for a place to dwell
No container seemed to fit it,
so it hardened to a shell
No one could break through its surface,
nor free it from its rigid kind
With all the pills of science fighting,
there was no answer here to find.
So put your hand in mine
and let me take you home.
Maybe we’ll find it. Probably we won’t
At least we still survive my love
goodnight
There’s a place where no one knows.
No one asks and no one tells.
Mindless thought for worthless talk.
Such a place you may know well.
So carry rocks right down that hill.
Just to roll them up and push them down instead
You might come up with the dare
and do it just because it’s fair.
So put your hand in mine
and let me take you home.
Maybe we’ll find it. Probably we won’t
At least we still survive my love
goodnight
Carried ‘cross the dessert, carved into a stone
Written on a piece of paper, soggy in the road
I’ll put my life in your hands if you won’t spit in mine
For those who search for deeper meaning
always come back strict with pride.
Something’s bubbling deep inside.
Looking for a place to dwell
No container seemed to fit it,
so it hardened to a shell
No one could break through its surface,
nor free it from its rigid kind
With all the pills of science fighting,
there was no answer here to find.
So put your hand in mine
and let me take you home.
Maybe we’ll find it. Probably we won’t
At least we still survive my love
goodnight
There’s a place where no one knows.
No one asks and no one tells.
Mindless thought for worthless talk.
Such a place you may know well.
So carry rocks right down that hill.
Just to roll them up and push them down instead
You might come up with the dare
and do it just because it’s fair.
So put your hand in mine
and let me take you home.
Maybe we’ll find it. Probably we won’t
At least we still survive my love
goodnight
Carried ‘cross the dessert, carved into a stone
Written on a piece of paper, soggy in the road
I’ll put my life in your hands if you won’t spit in mine
For those who search for deeper meaning
always come back strict with pride.
