Lyrics The The – Waitin’ For The Upturn
Text:
Shine a light inside your head
God knows you’re there
Clean the windows, wipe the tears away
Do you live alone, do you try to hide
That something’s not quite right inside of you?
Standing under a tree in the pouring rain
Smoking someone else’s last cigarette again
Manifestations take shape
In the staring eyes of a bloodless face
And as the world moves on
The hearts & souls look back
?
Like the sun sinking behind your head ?
It gets you right there
I stock up my fridge for the end of civilization as we know
(I’d like to think we know)
It’s such a reservation…always
You’ve really got me
Making love — loving you — over the edge — all over you
God, what is wrong with my legs?
They’ve stopped telling me what’s going on beneath my feet
And when the wind is blowing the windmills of your mind
To shine another light inside your mind
Standing under a tree in the pouring rain
Smoking someone else’s last cigarette again
Manifestations take shape
In the staring eyes of a bloodless face
And as the world moves on
The hearts & souls look back
?
Like the sun sinking behind your head ?
It gets you right there
I stock up my fridge for the end of civilization as we know
(I’d like to think we know)
It’s such a reservation…always
You’ve really got me
Making love — loving you — over the edge — all over you
God, what is wrong with my legs?
They’ve stopped telling me what’s going on beneath my feet
And when the wind is blowing the windmills of your mind
To shine another light inside your mind
