Cheers and Applause

歌詞

You walked out over a fresh grave to cheers and applause And so all over creation the culture of death became the celebrated rule of law You said, "Now go get drunk, I know you lot are depressed We've got our very best tailors getting me dressed Yeah, there's a spotlight and a megaphone, that'll do the rest You'll forget everything you ever saw" I went out, yeah, and I found The first place as desperate as me There was a bottle to prop up my chin so I checked in But the world never did stop its spin So one rainy Sunday I called in And I said, "Honey, pull me back in again" Honey, pull me back in again Pull me back in again Now I had visions of violence and an age where some wise doctor would have cut out your heart You said, "Thank you for your silence, well, there's already a hole there but thanks for doing your part" So as we turned back to the river and the things that we loved But I couldn't help feeling I should hold you with gloves 'Cause the pollen was poison, we'll be the dinosaurs of the future Preserved in tar We went out, yeah, and we found Someplace as desperate as we were There wwas a blanket to wrap us all in so we checked in But the world never did stop its spinning, spinning, yeah, spinning And no one's as desperate as me To set these anxious butterflies free There are some small things you can't defend So now every rainy Sunday I'll call in And I'll say, "Honey, pull me back in again" Honey, pull me back in again Pull me back in again
