lyrics

Either Or

It either all makes sense, and I just don’t like it,
Or nothing’s true and I just don’t care
I’m inclined to ignore the signs,
Hung up like criminals in the chair
No one’s hungry all over the island
There’s nothin’ to steal, everybody’s a cop
It’s all gone quiet from New York to Brighton
And noone’s on bottom cause you can’t see the top

It either all makes sense and I just don’t sense it,
Or nothin’s wrong but I’m not quite there
I see trees made of blood and silver
Starving in the filthy air
But I’ve been inclined against my design
The censors have missed the best of my dreams
The cobwebs have cleared, and my only fear’s
That everything’s actually just as it seems

And don’t you want it,
And don’t you need it now?
Eyes fixed above you
Feet bleedin on the ground
I know you want it,
I know you need it now
You found the trigger,
Where are your fingers, now?

Yeah that’s right, you go on and crawl
On your knees through the gap in your mind
The light only burns if you give it a reason,
Look at it sideways, ask for a sign
And from now on this is love,
Intangible arms and invisible eyes,
The answer’s zero, but only for some
Surely it’s heaven, for nothing can die

And don’t you want it,
And don’t you need it now
Eyes fixed above you
Feet bleedin on the ground
I know you want it,
I know you need it now
You found the trigger,
But where are your fingers, now?
