I agree with "I'll wait religiously." The third line seems to be "For bargain basement loves." I think "And we're wasting" should be "Are we wasting." Also, I'm pretty sure it is "Chasing dollars, chasing dimes" as opposed to "diamonds." Lastly, and this I'm not as sure about, but "It's only love" almost sounds like "It's all we know." That would make sense if the previous line is actually "It's the only place."

In any event, incredibly beautiful song. Moving, yearning, hopeful, sad - this band truly is a gem.

amended - thanks!

A few corrections. He doesn't sing exactly what's in the liner notes, but they help with some of the words he pronounces creatively.

All your precious souls Have been bought and sold For bargain basement lows To common criminals

So you're having visions Adverse flying conditions Overseas transmissions To anyone who will listen

You're waiting for the drums to kick in You wanna free your earthbound limbs I am gonna count to three Then you are leaving here with me.

Are we wasting all our precious time? Chasing dollars chasing dimes. German English Japanese All the sand in all the seas It's all in...
