Stories Going ‘Round

We've been told you hate us
You've been told we never try
We've been told you're greedy
You've been told we always lie

Oh, these days are noisy
It's like I can't hear myself think
This whole town feels thirsty
Another round of doublethink

Fall apart
Fall apart
Fall apart

No one hears you when you yell
It's just stories going 'round
Where they come from I can't tell
I got my ear to the ground
You're waiting to be seen
You're wanting to count
People sharing out their dreams
You're feeling lеft out

Everybody prays
Everyone a diffеrent way
Some bow their heads
Some sit still like ghosts
Some don't know they pray
They're just bleeding through their days
To the moon and sun
Anything, well anyone

No one hears you when you yell
It's just stories going 'round
Where they come from I can't tell
I got my ear to the ground
You're waiting to be seen
You're wanting to count
People sharing out their dreams
You're feeling left out

Life is long
It's long enough
Sometimes the seas are calm
Right now the seas are rough

[Musical interlude]

Life is long
It's long enough
Sometimes the seas are calm
Right now the seas are rough

Life is long
It's long enough
Sometimes the seas are calm
Sometimes the seas are rough

[Musical interlude]

Here it comes
Here comes the night
As soft as moonlight
As old as starlight

Here it comes
Here comes the night
As soft as moonlight
As old as starlight

Here comes the night
It's soft
And it's old

Here comes the night
