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
there's no moral action
there's no modern age
from which to run away
with a new projection
there's no sky above
for you to cry into
find a place too
you would just stop coping
every night and day
tell me what to say
you would never open
you were just a stripe
on the gay crusade
find a place to lay
la lalala la la la la la la
she can let it through now
she can kill me, cool
welcome to the ruse
it is off your shoulder
party in the cage
blow us all away
find a place too
find a place to lay
la lalala la la la la la la
la lalala la la la la la la

post modern depression
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!
