High tides are rising,
Running for the trees,
There's a wire on the phone,
And a war nobody sees,
And now my city just can't take it
It's just a matter of time,
Before you take every newborn
And strand em in the pines,
I say you go too far,
I know who you are.
You're the beginning of the end,
The canary in the mine,
The whisper in the ear that gets twisted in the vine,
The crk in each believer,
The weakness in the wall,
The hungry kiss from the lovers before their hearts begin to
Fall, The broken string of my guitar,
I know who you are.
I throw my money
Out the window,
I'm disowning all my kin,
I'm ready for the ride, and I'm strappin myself in.
Cuz there is no tomorrow,
If I don't kill it dead today,
I bow my head and ask for strength but
It does no good to pray,
You're still smoking your cigar,
And I know who you are.
Yeah I know...
Yeah I know...
If the color fades out from faces
If the women start to show
If the winter never comes again,
