Only Whispering

歌詞

The secret codes, the marigolds The twisted subway lines The cheap motels, the dinner bells The buzzing neon signs The candy stores and filthy whores The rotting picket fence Somehow all this folderol Is starting to make sense The splintered rope, the microscope I thought I had it all figured out The magazine, the TV screen The faces burned with doubt It swirled and twirled, this tiny world Until it somehow all made sense This apple tree epiphany This fleeting glimpse of common sense And now I'm screaming on the crowded streets I'm telling everyone I meet But no matter what try to I say, I'm only whispering The fire codes, the one-way roads The government conspiracy The thin facade, the red man's god It all just seems to clear to me The foreign places with the hungry faces The broke-down Chevrolet The race to see the ending Past the stops on the way And now I'm screaming on the crowded streets I'm telling everyone I meet But no matter what I try to say, I'm only whispering But no matter what I try to say, no one is listening All I got's this same old plot And a rusty set of strings I'll rehearse this same old verse Until there's nothing left to sing But no matter what I try to say, I'm only whispering But no matter what I try to say, nobody's listening But no matter what I try to say, I'm only whispering
