Stories Going 'Round

We’ve been you told you hate us
You’ve been told we never try
We’ve been told you’re greedy
You’ve been told we always lie
Oh these days are noisy
It’s like I can’t hear myself think
This whole town feels thirsty
Another round of doublethink
Fall apart, fall apart
Fall apart
No one hears you when you yell
It’s just stories going round
Where they come from I can’t tell
I got my ear to the ground
You’re waiting to be seen
You’re wanting to count
People sharing out their dreams
You’re feeling left out
Everybody prays
Everyone a different way
Some bow their heads
Some stand still like ghosts
Some don’t know they pray
But just bleeding through their days
To the moon and sun
Anything, well anyone
No one hears you when you yell
It’s just stories going round
Where they come from I can’t tell
I got my ear to the ground
You’re waiting to be seen
You’re wanting to count
People sharing out their dreams
You’re feeling left out
Life is long, it’s long enough
Sometimes the seas are calm
Right now the seas are rough
Life is long, it’s long enough
Sometimes the seas are calm
Right now the seas are rough
Life is long, it’s long enough
Sometimes the seas are calm
Sometimes the seas are rough
Here it comes
Here comes the night
As soft as moonlight
As old as starlight
Here it comes
Here comes the night
As soft as moonlight
As old as starlight
Here comes the night
It’s soft
And it’s old
Here comes the night
