Standing in the wind and rain, I’m underneath your wheels tonight,
Was underneath your heel tonight, this truth has brought us to our knees,
Waiting here out in the street a prisoner under these lights,
Was holding fast not holding tight, will time reward us some reprieve
It’s a lie we both believed (fall down)
Now you’re lying here with me (fall down)
Just lay your head down...
Reading through the news today, I’m picturing your fading smile,
I’m picturing your frozen eyes, those dreaded words slip from your
lips,
Could we please just start again, without this sense of pending dread,
These thunderclouds mass overhead, without this cage around your bed love,
It’s a lie we both believed (fall down)
Now you’re lying here with me (fall down)
Just lay your head down...
It’s a lie we both believed (fall down)
Now you’re lying here with me (fall down)
Can we try to make it clean (fall down)
It’s a secret that’s unspoken, t’was the cause of all your tears,
We’d rip the night wide open, t’was the morning that we feared,
There’s glass upon this playground, there’s cocaine in your church,
Is there water in this desert, is there water in this desert?

Wow. This song is really something else. I've heard these guys compared to Coldplay, U2, and Radiohead before...but I feel like Clark's vocals are just plain better. There are very few singers who can actually send chills down my spine, but he's one of them. His ethereal voice just soars, and I love his falsetto. Not only does he have a beautiful voice, but he can convey so much emotion in his songs...something most other artists I hear these days fail to do. They write some pretty good lyrics too! This is one of those songs that can make you ache on the inside when you listen to it. Amazing.
it's actually: These thunderclouds LIE overhead
oh and i agree with you completely , 'chameleon'. except i think i might like radiohead a TAD more.
