Tangible Things
A long time ago it was just a game
A masquerade where you give up your name
And then lose your way back home
Vibrating snowmaker
Will it ever snow in Waco
Plants and trees and flesh and blood and bone
Statues of the ancestors nobody's known
All those tangible things
All these breakable things
Strip them away, only the love remains
Well, I'm setting my sights for the things that don't break
A place that won't change like the weather
Victim of gravity
Oh, how I would happily
Give my life to something that lastеd forever
Not those tangiblе things
Those breakable things
Strip them away, only the love remains
Oh oh, these movies that shakedown
Where dreams live or die
You can plough it and sow it
You never will hold it
Still everyone gives it a try
Bikers from Waco
Wave through my window
Jeans and braids and girls holding on from behind
Searching for something lost in the shadows of mind
Lost in the tangible things
Those breakable things
Strip them away, only the love remains
A long time ago it was just a game
A masquerade where you give up your name
And then lose your way back home
Vibrating snowmaker
Will it ever snow in Waco
Plants and trees and flesh and blood and bone
