We Can't Help You Lyrics

there's no common goal
there's no moral action
there's no modern age
from which to run away

there's no grace in love
with a new projection
there's no sky above
for you to cry into

we can't help you
find a place too

well i wish for once
you would just stop coping
every night and day
tell me what to say

you were over ripe
you would never open
you were just a stripe
on the gay crusade

we can't help you
find a place to lay

la lalala la la la la la la
la lalala la la la la la la

she was always one(?)
she can let it through now
she can kill me, cool
welcome to the ruse

well i've seen the storm
it is off your shoulder
party in the cage
blow us all away

we can't help you
find a place too

we can't help you
find a place to lay
la lalala la la la la la la
la lalala la la la la la la

My Interpretation

Agree. Just having nowhere to stay or run, simply realizing there's nothing working as a parameter or criteria for your life to make it trascendent, significant or important for the world.

Not very happy, but oddly enough the music sounds comforting.

Followed by Wicked Wanda on the album, it's a 1-2 knockout punch to finish it off!

@ Santiagof - what a great album!

i think it's about societies modern needs, for sure the first stanza -

what's up w/ Malky moving to Berlin of all places!!
