[Verse 1]
Tied this letter to a red balloon
Flew this letter off across the roofs
Along with all the plans I made, ooh
Over crippled cranes and twisted steel
Deadlines overgrown and missing wheels
A "told you so" communiqué, ooh
Told you so
Told you so

[Bridge 1]
The biggest of mistakes can be forgiven
But a snowball of little white lies will crush your house

[Verse 2]
From the razor wire, an oily rag
And it's what you make the nation's flag
Pray you never sleep again, ooh
Oh, and laughable the crying shame
Oh, the mark I made against your name
I hope this finds you less than sane, ooh
Told you so
Told you so

[Bridge 2]
For you to think that history's rewritten
You'd have to think the dead will be forgotten
Your snowball of little white lies has crushed our house
[Outro]
When the pills you take, no longer help you
Fading in your chair, a hundred and two
You'll see the light dim, you'll lose the birdsong
You'll hear the voices you've been holding off for so long
Buzzing 'round you, and then a hurricane
A hundred thousand souls and every one in pain
They'll come and visit you, we'll come and visit you
When the pills you take, no longer help you
Fading in your chair, a hundred and two
You'll see the light dim, you'll lose the birdsong
You'll hear the voices you've been holding off for so long
Buzzing 'round you, and then a hurricane
A hundred thousand souls and every one in pain
They'll come and visit you, we'll come and visit you
We'll come and visit you, we'll come and visit you
We'll come and visit you, we'll come and visit you
We'll come and visit you, we'll come and visit you
We'll come and visit you, we'll come and visit you
We'll come and visit you, we'll come and visit you
We'll come and visit you, we'll come and visit you
We'll come and visit you, we'll come and visit you
We'll come and visit you, we'll come and visit you
We'll come and visit you, we'll come and visit you
We'll come and visit you, we'll come and visit you
We'll come and visit you, we'll come and visit you
We'll come and visit you, we'll come and visit you
(Never sleep again)
