[Verse 1]
Dark auditorium, half of the audience sleeps
I am awake through every display of doubt turning the grave

[Pre-Chorus]
While you were watching the back of your eyelids
I was awake

[Verse 2]
Broken and battered and split like an atom
In debt to god, but what’s it to you
If somewhere a glass jewel breaks
And rings like a bell

[Pre-Chorus]
Are you bandaging feet or done with the Peace Corps?
I couldn’t tell

[Chorus]
Now I’m putting drinks away
Like a poet on payday
And I’m not toasting your name
Or your good health

[Verse 3]
When twenty years of peace
Fall under the roof of love
And every heart seems
To beat like a broken drum

[Chorus]
Now I’m putting drinks away
Like a poet on payday
And I’m not toasting your name
Or your good health

They say the thing about the [?]
Is you risking them finishing
And a line of love
Draws maps on your skin

Well that's the about a shoe
You know some of us live in them
When it’s too late to want love
I’ll know where I’ve been

They say the thing about the [?]
Is they're made out of finishing
And a longing of love
Draws maps on your skin

Well that's the about a shoe
You know some of us live in them
When it’s too late to want love
I’ll know where I’ve been
I’ll know where I’ve been
