ELEVEN STORIES

take your talk outside
it don't mean nothing to you now
if you leave it all behind
or if you leave it on the windowsill
there's something to be said
or if there's nothing to relay
they've got you rolling down
the hill to yesterday

scenery and half-wits waiting
welcome mat parade
harvesting their tears
and all the progress that they made
if you're tangled out of reason
if you're strangling inside
the road is nothing
stronger than your pride

eleven stories
now we're down by five
and we're looking at the ones
who are still alive
where's the silence
where's the voice of need
it's locked up in the cupboard
with the pits and peas
eleven stories
and that's all

be the open air
while there's still time to steal away
before the dance is done
before the fireworks display
you can call for a new order
you can call it everything
if you only see it through
enough to sing

eleven stories
or a song of need
we're strangling the ones
who bring us up to speed
and if we take a piece
of the prize
we'll hear about it later
when we're all despised
tell me, is it magic?
tell me, is it greed?
tell me, is it anything you'd ever need?
tell me, is it working?
tell me, is it tied?
tell me, is it lies, lies, lies?

eleven stories
and that's all
