Ida - Ten Small Paces (1997) by Ida (보컬) on maniadb.com

Easier to find a great pretender
Easier to lie
Thank you for your kind letter
Thank you for your kind letter

It's better just to know than find out later
It's better just to hide
Honesty always matters
Honesty always matters

Oh this fallen arrow
Never found its way to your heart
I shot it with all I had left
It was a rocket in the sky until it tumbled to the ground
It was a rocket in the sky until it fell

Wouldn't take you more than ten small paces
Wouldn't take you less
Stop by when you're feeling better
Stop by when you're feeling better

Oh this fallen arrow
Never found its way to your heart
I shot it with all I had left
It was a rocket in the sky until it tumbled to the ground
It was a rocket in the sky until it fell

It was a rocket in the sky until it tumbled to the ground
It was a rocket in the sky until it fell

The sun burns out his eyes
The vampire isn't suprised
He was waiting there all night
To be the first one to notice the dawn
Don't give it the weight
When you're so far out of it
You're so far out of it

I want to notice
All the changes as they come
I want the patience
Of the robber
No cleverness could make that appeal
Sail masked like a prayer
Before the words turned into air

I think I'd like to go
Back home
And take it easy
There's a woman that
I'd like to get to know
Living there

Everybody seems to wonder
What it's like down here
I gotta get away
From this day-to-day
Running around
Everybody knows
This is nowhere

Everybody, everybody knows
Everybody knows

Every time I think about
Back home
It's cool and breezy
I wish that I could be there
Right now
Just passing time

Everybody seems to wonder
What it's like down here
I gotta get away
From this day-to-day
Running around
Everybody knows
This is nowhere

Everybody, everybody knows
Everybody knows

Come to dinner with me
We'll walk down the main street
All dressed up
We'll make time for coffee
And know that caffeine makes you sad
But just this once would you do that for me
Cause up in heaven you're a shoe-in
If you open up your heart to me
To me
Let's go driving tonight
We'll take Al's Comet, he'll never know
We'll top it at 95
I know my driving makes you mad
But just once would you do that for me
Cause up in heaven you're a shoe-in
If you open up your heart to me
To me

Poor dumb canary
You finally threw yourself in a glass
Treated you so badly
Gave you everything that you wanted

Poor dumb bird

You sang a song or two
You did it better than anyone else
They took it far as they could
They took it into their hands and it got to your gut

Poor dumb bird

You think you made it stop,
You think you made it good,
You think you saved your soul,
You can watch from your box as they serve up what's left of your beak

Poor dumb bird

The sun can rise if it wants,
The rain can fall if it wants,
The fire can strike where it likes
But when one good bird chooses to fly the whole sky starts to look better

Now that you've gone and lit up the sky And gone and left it burning
There's no one left to do your work Though they're already starting to try

Many sweet song that was left to come will stay on the tip of your tongue
Many sweet song that was left to come will stay on the tip of your tongue

The passage of time
Is flicking dimly up on the screen
I can't see the lines
I used to think I could read between
Perhaps my brains have turned to sand
Only, oh my
I think it's been an eternity
You'd be surprised
At my degree of uncertainty
How can moments go so slow
Several times
I've seen the evening slide away
Watching the signs
Taking over from the fading day
Perhaps my brains are old and scrambled
Several times
I've seen the evening slide away
Watching the signs
Taking over from the fading day
Changing water into wine
Several times
I've seen the evening slide away
Watching the signs
Taking over from the fading day
Putting grapes back on the vine

Do you remember
Smashing up a bottle
Trying to be rudie
In a tourist town

We were so aimless
But so filled with purpose
And I got so nervous
On your wedding day

It's great to see you now
To see your eyes
You know that they're
So clear and strong

When you look into mine
Do you still see me the same

I can still see us everywhere I look
It's time I come back to this shitty town

Get out of bed or you'll sleep the whole day away
Realize I'm so in love with you

Put up your hair and I'll put on my very best shoes
We'll walk outside and see stars light up the sky

When I'm with you I dont care wherever we go
We'll be alright no one can find us tonight

Hold back again
Don't deny
They always want you to
Pull the ship from out of the sky

Give out some more
It's such a steal
They only want you to
Market the way that you feel

You'll never know
How much I care
I notice the way that you look at me
When you're not there

Still having fun
In for the long run
Only just begun
