Cracks in the Canvas Lyrics
How do we cope
(How we go to sleep)
With the days after our death?
Empty days, nothing left
(No hands, no one to wait for)
Not even a funeral
I see shapes forming inside paintings
Animals and humans, row upon row
Walking towards something
Waiting for something
(Outside the window)
I'm looking for an answer
Me and a million others
(The voices defy nature)
Disbelievers
Deserted lovers
Dear God,
You'd better not let me down this time
(10 000 lives that grieved before)
Cracks in the canvas
Look like roads
That never end.
(How we go to sleep)
With the days after our death?
Empty days, nothing left
(No hands, no one to wait for)
Not even a funeral
Animals and humans, row upon row
Walking towards something
Waiting for something
I'm looking for an answer
Me and a million others
(The voices defy nature)
Disbelievers
Deserted lovers
Dear God,
You'd better not let me down this time
(10 000 lives that grieved before)
Look like roads
That never end.

I got this:
How do we cope (Now we go to sleep) With the days after a death Empty days (You have no one to wait for) Nothing left Not even a funeral I see shapes forming inside paintings animals and humans feet on road (and now, here's another voice) walking towards something waiting for something (Outside the window) I'm looking for an answer me and a million others (The voices of ten thousand angels) disbelievers, deserted lovers Dear god you better not let me down this time (ten thousand lives that lived before) Cracks in the canvas look like roads that never end.
Actually, I think she's singing: "Honey, go to sleep. You have no one to wait for. But honey, here's another voice."
she's singing "Polly, go to sleep". you can hear it well in the live version.
