lyrics

NEVADA

i look through your window
i feel your reflection
i lie in my room
and stel your attention
beggars and watchers
and beasts burn the night
tired and hopeless
he shot out the light
wait for a signal
she'd only step out for a while

and i, like a fool
gave it up

you called me your keeper
and took back my name
for all that you're left with
is feeding again
liars, repliers
impliers and then
wait for a day
when it all can begin
no one is no one
when everyone's under your skin

and i, like a fool
gave it up

sing, bird of plenty
but don't spread your wings
i've seen, in confusion
what a fool it can bring
dancers, romancers
and chances in time
to steal what is yours
and to learn what is mine
hope can be hopeless
when everything seems to be fine

and i, like a fool
gave it up

i'm waiting, contemplating
this light is mine if i can find my way
so what can i say now?
what else can i say to you now?
this river's on the rise
now i'm skimming off the lies
and i'm waiting for the moment
when this world is all mine
but it's got me in a spin
from my soul down to my skin
and i feel i'm gonna break
so why don't you save me now
mama
