Last Days on Earth Lyrics
Tired of this elegant life
With the best will in the world
It’s a thorn in your side
Dazed not a little confused
Let the patient do the work
They’ve got nothing to lose
I told you I’d hold you
Till the last days on earth
Ties that are tested and tried
Like the crashing of the waves
Will be lost in the tide
Talk away the pain for the very last time
Like an echo in a cave
Let it die in your mind
I told you I’d hold you
Till the last days on earth
If you should fall into these open arms
You would be blessed not just with youth
Wake up your mind – like is a loaded gun
Where nothing on earth lies like the truth
Ties that are tested and tried
Like the crashing of the waves
Will be lost in the tide
Talk away the pain for the very last time
Like an echo in a cave
With the best will in the world
It’s a thorn in your side
Dazed not a little confused
Let the patient do the work
They’ve got nothing to lose
Till the last days on earth
Like the crashing of the waves
Will be lost in the tide
Talk away the pain for the very last time
Like an echo in a cave
Let it die in your mind
Till the last days on earth
You would be blessed not just with youth
Wake up your mind – like is a loaded gun
Where nothing on earth lies like the truth
Like the crashing of the waves
Will be lost in the tide
Talk away the pain for the very last time
Like an echo in a cave
