This song goes out
to all the hopeless sinners,
with grave allegiances,
so meaningless and vain,
The walking wounded, in a pageant of contenders Who balance on a rail of pain for a pail of rain
And everything is barely mist - blood relations and bricks
My expression, my confession
Add it up, extract a lesson more than this
Once again, like a bullet as a friend tell me
Can that be all there is?
In my rectory of doubt, I kneel to pray like on devout
As the great gray dreamless sleep, of a uselss modern god
Erodes away each storied day, as wretched Adam's with hell to pay
Content upon a rail of pain just a little rain
And everything is dearly missed - blood relations and bricks
My expression, my confession
Add it up, extract a lesson more than this
Once again, like a bullet as a friend tell me
Can that be all there is?
There's an endless disposition, and it doesn't mean a goddamn thing
There's space for a paper airplane race in the eye of a hurricane
And if pigs could fly, surely so could I
But this pedestrian knows better than to even try
My divinity is caught between the colors of a butterfly
And everything is dearly missed - blood relations and bricks
My expression, my confession
Add it up, extract a lesson more than this
Once again, like a bullet as a friend tell me
Can that be all there is?
Those are the real lyrics...out of the CD booklet
the rail of pain/pail of rain line is fucking brilliant....not that you should expect any less from Graffin. As is the part about the hurricane 20/10...congrats Greg, BR'S true comeback album after that seemingly never ending stint with Atlantic, with which only one good album was done Gray Race
