from Trainspotting #2 (트레인스포팅 #2) [ost] (1997)
Walk in silence,
Don't walk away, in silence. See the danger, Always danger, Endless talking, Life rebuilding, Don't walk away. Walk in silence, Don't turn away, in silence. Your confusion, My illusion, Worn like a mask of self-hate, Confronts and then dies. Don't walk away. People like you find it easy, Naked to see, Walking on air. Hunting by the rivers, Through the streets, Every corner abandoned too soon, Set down with due care. Don't walk away in silence, Don't walk away. |

Won't someone give me a gun?
Oh, well, it's for my brother Well, he writes the line, wrote right down my spine It says, "Oh, do you believe in love there?" So slow down, slow down, you're taking me over And so we drown, sir, we drown, stop taking me over Won't someone give me some fun? As the skin flies all around us We kiss in his room to a popular tune Oh, real drowners So slow down, slow down, you're taking me over And so we drown, sir, we drown, stop taking me over Slow down, slow down, you're taking me over And so we drown, sir, we drown, stop taking me over You're taking me over You're taking me over You're taking me over You're taking me over Stop taking me over You're taking me over You're taking me over You're taking me over |

Change of speed, a change of style
A change of scene, with no regrets A chance to watch admire the distance Still occupied - though you forget Different colours, different shades Over each mistakes were made I took the blame Directionless, so plain to see A loaded gun won't set you free So you say We'll share a drink and step outside An angry voice and one who cried We'll give you everything and more The strain's too much, can't take much more Oh I've walked on water, run through fire Can't seem to feel it anymore It was me - waiting for me Hoping for something more Me - see me in this time - Hoping for something else |

Someone take these dreams away,
That point me to another day, A duel of personalities, That stretch all true realities. That keep calling me, They keep calling me, Keep on calling me, They keep calling me. Where figures from the past stand tall, And mocking voices ring the halls. Imperialistic house of prayer, Conquistadors who took their share. That keep calling me, They keep calling me, Keep on calling me, They keep calling me. Calling me, calling me, calling me, calling me. They keep calling me, Keep on calling me, They keep calling me, They keep calling me. |

Hearts fail, young hearts fail,
Any time, pressurized, overheat, overtired. Take it quick, take it neat, Clasp your hands, touch your feet. Take it quick, take it neat, Take it quick, take it neat. Hearts fail, young hearts fail, Anytime, wearing down, On the run, underground, Put your hand where it's safe, Leave your hand where it's safe. Do it again, Do it again and again and again. Do it again and again and again. Do it again and again and again. Do it again and again and again. Anytime, that's your right. Don't you wish you do it again, Overheat, overtire.

So this is permanence, love's shattered pride
What once was innocence, turned on its side Grey cloud hangs over me, marks every move Deep in the memory, what once was love Oh, how I realized? How I wanted time? Put into perspective, tried so hard to find Just for one moment, I thought I'd found my way Destiny unfolded, I watched it slip away Excessive flash points, beyond all reach Solitary demands for all I'd like to keep Let's take a ride out, see what we can find Valueless collection of hopes and past desires I never realized the lengths I'd have to go All the darkest corners of a sense I didn't know Just for one moment I heard somebody call Looked beyond the day in hand, there's nothing there at all Now that I've realized how it's all gone wrong Got to find some therapy, this treatment takes too long Deep in the heart of where sympathy held sway Got to find my destiny before it gets too late |

Destroying the balance I'd kept Doubting, unsettling and turning around Wondering what will come next Is this the role that you wanted to live? I was foolish to ask for so much Without the protection and infancy's guard It all falls apart at first touch Watching the reel as it comes to a close Brutally taking it's time People who change for no reason at all Happening all of the time Can I go on with this train of events? Disturbing and purging my mind Back out of my duties when all's said and done I know that I'll lose every time Moving along in our God given ways Safety is sat by the fire Sanctuary from these feverish smiles Left with a mark on the door Is this the gift that I wanted to give? Forgive and forget's what they teach Or pass through the deserts and wastelands once more And watch as they drop by the beach This is the crisis I knew had to come Destroying the balance I'd kept Turning around to the next set of lives Wondering what will come next |

Guess you dreams always end.
They don't rise up, just descend, But I don't care anymore, I've lost the will to want more, I'm not afraid not at all, I watch them all as they fall, But I remember when we were young. Those with habits of waste, Their sense of style and good taste, Of making sure you were right, Hey don't you know you were right? I'm not afraid anymore, I keep my eyes on the door, But I remember.... Tears of sadness for you, More upheaval for you, Reflects a moment in time, A special moment in time, Yeah we wasted our time, We didn't really have time, But we remember when we were young. And all God's angels beware, And all you judges beware, Sons of chance, take good care, For all the people not there, I'm not afraid anymore, I'm not afraid anymore, I'm not afraid anymore, Oh, I'm not afraid anymore. |

A cry for help, a hint of anesthesia,
The sound from broken homes, We used to always meet here. As he lays asleep, she takes him in her arms, Some things I have to do, but I don't mean you harm. A worried parent's glance, a kiss, a last goodbye, Hands him the bag she packed, the tears she tries to hide, A cruel wind that blows down to our lunacy And leaves him standing cold here in this colony. I can't see why all these confrontations, I can't see why all these dislocations, No family life, this makes me feel uneasy, Stood alone here in this colony. In this colony, in this colony, in this colony, in this colony. Dear God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand. God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand. God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand.

When the routine bites hard
and ambitions are low And the resentment rides high but emotions won't grow And we're changing our ways, taking different roads Then love, love will tear us apart again (4) Why is the bedroom so cold Turned away on your side? Is my timing that flawed, our respect run so dry? Yet there's still this appeal That we've kept through our lives Love, love will tear us apart again (4) Do you cry out in your sleep All my failings expose? Get a taste in my mouth As desperation takes hold Is it something so good Just can't function no more? When love, love will tear us apart again (4) |

Instincts that can still betray us,
A journey that leads to the sun, Soulless and bent on destruction, A struggle between right and wrong. You take my place in the showdown, I'll observe witha pitiful eye, I'll humbly ask for forgiveness, A request well beyond you and I. Heart and soul, one will burn. Heart and soul, one will burn. An abyss that laughs at creation, A circus complete with all fools, Foundations that lasted the ages, Then ripped apart at their roots. Beyond all this goo's is the terror, The grip of a mercenary hand, When savagery turns all good reason, There's no turning back, no last stand. Heart and soul, one will burn. Heart and soul, one will burn. Existence well what does it matter? I exist on the best terms I can. The past is now part of my future, The present is well out of hand. The present is well out of hand. Heart and soul, one will burn. Heart and soul, one will burn. One will burn, one will burn. Heart and soul, one will burn. |

Here are the young men, a weight on their shoulders
Here are the young men - well where have they been? We knocked on doors of Hell's darker chambers Pushed to the limits, we dragged ourselves in Watched from the wings as the scenes were replaying We saw ourselves now as we never had seen Portrayal of the traumas and degeneration The sorrows we suffered and never were free Where have they been -- Weary inside, now our heart's lost forever Can't replace the fear or the thrill of the chase These rituals showed up the door for our wanderings Opened and shut, then slammed in our face Where have they been -- |

Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside, For entertainment they watch his body twist Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.' This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. In arenas he kills for a prize, Wins a minute to add to his life. But the sickness is drowned by cries for more, Pray to God, make it quick, watch him fall. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way. This is the way. This is the way. This is the way. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. You'll see the horrors of a faraway place, Meet the architects of law face to face. See mass murder on a scale you've never seen, And all the ones who try hard to succeed. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. And I picked on the whims of a thousand or more, Still pursuing the path that's been buried for years, All the dead wood from jungles and cities on fire, Can't replace or relate, can't release or repair, Take my hand and I'll show you what was and will be. |

Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man? These sensations barely interest me for another day, I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, take the shock away. It's getting faster, moving faster now, it's getting out of hand, On the tenth floor, down the back stairs, it's a no man's land, Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now, I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, let it out somehow. What means to you, what means to me, and we will meet again, I'm watching you, I'm watching her, I'll take no pity from you friends, Who is right, who can tell, and who gives a damn right now, Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know, Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know, Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know, I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling, I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling, Feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling. |

No portrait so fine, only sheets on the wall, I've seen the nights, filled with bloodsport and pain, And the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained. Where will it end? Where will it end? Where will it end? Where will it end? These are your friends from childhood, through youth, Who goaded you on, demanded more proof, Withdrawal pain is hard, it can do you right in, So distorted and thin, distorted and thin. Where will it end? Where will it end? Where will it end? Where will it end? This is the car at the edge of the road, There's nothing disturbed, all the windows are closed, I guess you were right, when we talked in the heat, There's no room for the weak, no room for the weak, Where will it end?

The territories marked, No longer the pleasure, Oh, I've since lost the heart. Corrupted from memory, No longer the power, It's creeping up slowly, The last fatal hour. Oh, I don't what made me, What gave me the right, To mess with your values, And change wrong to right. Please keep your distance, The trail leads to here, There's blood on your fingers, Brought on by fear. I campaigned for nothing, I worked hard for this, I tried to get to you, You treat me like this. It's just second nature, It's what we've been shown, We're living by your rules, That's all that we know. I tried to get to you, I tried to get to you, I tried to get to you. I tried to get to you. |

Confusion in her eyes that says it all.
She's lost control. And she's clinging to the nearest passer by, She's lost control. And she gave away the secrets of her past, And said I've lost control again, And a voice that told her when and where to act, She said I've lost control again. And she turned to me and took me by the hand and said, I've lost control again. And how I'll never know just why or understand, She said I've lost control again. And she screamed out kicking on her side and said, I've lost control again. And seized up on the floor, I thought she'd die. She said I've lost control again. She's lost control again. She's lost control. She's lost control again. She's lost control. Well I had to 'phone her friend to state her case, And say she's lost control again. And she showed up all the errors and mistakes, And said I've lost control again. But she expressed herself in many different ways, Until she lost control again. And walked upon the edge of no escape, And laughed I've lost control again. She's lost control again. She's lost control. She's lost control again. She's lost control. I could live a little better with permissible (the miserable?) lies, When the darkness broke in, I just broke down and cried. I could live a little in a wider line, When the change is done, when the dare is gone, To lose control. When the dare is gone... |

To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you,
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you, I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you, In a room with a window in the corner I found truth. In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more, As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor, And with cold streel, odour on their bodies mad a move to connect, But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left. I did everything, everything I wanted to, I let them use you for their own ends, To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you. To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you. |

Someone talked me in to do it, Attracted by some force within it, Had to close my eyes to get close to it, Around a corner where a prophet lay, Saw the place where she'd had a room to stay, A wire fence where the children played Saw the bed where the body lay, And I was looking for some friends of mine. And I had no time to waste. Yeah, looking for some friends of mine. The cars screeched hear the sound on dust, Heard a noise just a car outside, Metallic blue turned red with rust, Pulled in close by the building's side, In a group all forgotten youth, Had to think, collect my senses now, Are turned on to a knife edged view Find some places where my friends don't know, And I was looking for a friend of mine, And had no time to waste. Yeah, looking for some friends of mine. Down the dark streets, the houses looked the same, Getting darker now, faces look the same, And I walked round and round. No stomach, torn apart, Nail me to a train. Had to think again, trying to find a clue, trying to find a way to get out! Trying to move away, had to move away and keep out. |

We were strangers.
We were strangers, for way too long, for way too long, We were strangers, for way too long. Violent, violent, Were strangers. Get weak all the time, may just pass the time, Me in my own world, yeah you there beside, The gaps are enormous, we stare from each side, We were strangers for way too long. Violent, more violent, his hand cracks the chair, Moves on reaction, then slumps in despair, Trapped in a cage and surrendered too soon, Me in my own world, the one that you knew, For way too long. We were strangers, for way too long. We were strangers, We were strangers, for way too long. For way too long. |

Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside, For entertainment they watch his body twist Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.' This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. In arenas he kills for a prize, Wins a minute to add to his life. But the sickness is drowned by cries for more, Pray to God, make it quick, watch him fall. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way. This is the way. This is the way. This is the way. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. You'll see the horrors of a faraway place, Meet the architects of law face to face. See mass murder on a scale you've never seen, And all the ones who try hard to succeed. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. And I picked on the whims of a thousand or more, Still pursuing the path that's been buried for years, All the dead wood from jungles and cities on fire, Can't replace or relate, can't release or repair, Take my hand and I'll show you what was and will be. |

In fear every day, every evening
He calls her aloud from above Carefully watched for a reason Painstaking devotion and love Surrendered to self preservation From others who care for themselves A blindness that touches perfection But hurts just like anything else Isolation, isolation, isolation Mother, I tried please belief me I'm doing the best that I can I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through I'm ashamed of the person I am Isolation, isolation, isolation But if you could just see the beauty These things I could never describe This is my one lucky prize This is my one lucky prize Isolation, isolation, isolation Isolation |

This is a crisis, I knew had to come
Destroying the balance I'd kept Doubting, unsettling and turning around Wondering what will come next Is this the role that you wanted to live? I was foolish to ask for so much Without the protection and infancy's guard It all falls apart at first touch Watching the reel as it comes to a close Brutally taking it's time People who change for no reason at all Happening all of the time Can I go on with this train of events? Disturbing and purging my mind Back out of my duties when all's said and done I know that I'll lose every time Moving along in our God given ways Safety is sat by the fire Sanctuary from these feverish smiles Left with a mark on the door Is this the gift that I wanted to give? Forgive and forget's what they teach Or pass through the deserts and wastelands once more And watch as they drop by the beach This is the crisis I knew had to come Destroying the balance I'd kept Turning around to the next set of lives Wondering what will come next |

A cry for help, a hint of anesthesia,
The sound from broken homes, We used to always meet here. As he lays asleep, she takes him in her arms, Some things I have to do, but I don't mean you harm. A worried parent's glance, a kiss, a last goodbye, Hands him the bag she packed, the tears she tries to hide, A cruel wind that blows down to our lunacy And leaves him standing cold here in this colony. I can't see why all these confrontations, I can't see why all these dislocations, No family life, this makes me feel uneasy, Stood alone here in this colony. In this colony, in this colony, in this colony, in this colony. Dear God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand. God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand. God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand. God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand. In this colony, in this colony, in this colony, in this colony. |

A legacy so far removed
One day will be improved Eternal rights we left behind We were the better kind Two the same - set free too I always looked to you -- This is the first verse on the Bains Douches live album: A legacy so far removed One day will be improved Secret trials - the judges warn Check like we've never borne Win the right to set free What you will be reprieved I put my trust in you -- We fought for good - stood side by side Our friendship never died On stranger waves - the lows and highs Our vision touched the skies Immortalists with points to prove [or in the Bains Douches live version: Captive souls - depleted soon] [and in the Still live version: Immortalists depart too soon] I put my trust in you -- A house somewhere on foreign soil Where ageing lovers call Is this your goal - your final needs? [or in the Bains Douches live version: Is this your goal - your final round?] [and in the Still live version: It's come to this - your final goal] Where dogs and vultures eat Committed still, I turn to go I put my trust in you -- In you, in you, in you Put my trust in you, in you |

Instincts that can still betray us,
A journey that leads to the sun, Soulless and bent on destruction, A struggle between right and wrong. You take my place in the showdown, I'll observe witha pitiful eye, I'll humbly ask for forgiveness, A request well beyond you and I. Heart and soul, one will burn. Heart and soul, one will burn. An abyss that laughs at creation, A circus complete with all fools, Foundations that lasted the ages, Then ripped apart at their roots. Beyond all this goo's is the terror, The grip of a mercenary hand, When savagery turns all good reason, There's no turning back, no last stand. Heart and soul, one will burn. Heart and soul, one will burn. Existence well what does it matter? I exist on the best terms I can. The past is now part of my future, The present is well out of hand. The present is well out of hand. Heart and soul, one will burn. Heart and soul, one will burn. One will burn, one will burn. Heart and soul, one will burn. |

So this is permanence, love's shattered pride
What once was innocence, turned on its side Grey cloud hangs over me, marks every move Deep in the memory, what once was love Oh, how I realized? How I wanted time? Put into perspective, tried so hard to find Just for one moment, I thought I'd found my way Destiny unfolded, I watched it slip away Excessive flash points, beyond all reach Solitary demands for all I'd like to keep Let's take a ride out, see what we can find Valueless collection of hopes and past desires I never realized the lengths I'd have to go All the darkest corners of a sense I didn't know Just for one moment I heard somebody call Looked beyond the day in hand, there's nothing there at all Now that I've realized how it's all gone wrong Got to find some therapy, this treatment takes too long Deep in the heart of where sympathy held sway Got to find my destiny before it gets too late |

Procession moves on, the shouting is over
Praise to the glory of loved ones now gone Talking aloud as they sit round their tables Scattering flowers washed down by the rain Stood by the gate at the foot of the garden Watching them pass like clouds in the sky Try to cry out in the heat of the moment Possessed by a fury that burns from inside Cry like a child, though these years make me older With children my time is so wastefully spent A burden to keep, though their inner communion Accept like a curse, an unlucky deal Played by the gate at the foot of the garden My view stretches out from the fence to the wall No words could explain, no actions determine Just watching the trees and the leaves as they fall |

Here are the young men, a weight on their shoulders
Here are the young men - well where have they been? We knocked on doors of Hell's darker chambers Pushed to the limits, we dragged ourselves in Watched from the wings as the scenes were replaying We saw ourselves now as we never had seen Portrayal of the traumas and degeneration The sorrows we suffered and never were free Where have they been -- Weary inside, now our heart's lost forever Can't replace the fear or the thrill of the chase These rituals showed up the door for our wanderings Opened and shut, then slammed in our face Where have they been -- |

I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand,
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man? These sensations barely interest me for another day, I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, take the shock away. It's getting faster, moving faster now, it's getting out of hand, On the tenth floor, down the back stairs, it's a no man's land, Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now, I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, let it out somehow. What means to you, what means to me, and we will meet again, I'm watching you, I'm watching her, I'll take no pity from you friends, Who is right, who can tell, and who gives a damn right now, Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know, Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know, Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know, I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling, I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling, Feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling. |

This is the room, the start of it all,
No portrait so fine, only sheets on the wall, I've seen the nights, filled with bloodsport and pain, And the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained. Where will it end? Where will it end? Where will it end? Where will it end? These are your friends from childhood, through youth, Who goaded you on, demanded more proof, Withdrawal pain is hard, it can do you right in, So distorted and thin, distorted and thin. Where will it end? Where will it end? Where will it end? Where will it end? This is the car at the edge of the road, There's nothing disturbed, all the windows are closed, I guess you were right, when we talked in the heat, There's no room for the weak, no room for the weak, Where will it end? Where will it end? Where will it end? Where will it end? This is the room, the start of it all, Through childhood, thorugh youth, I remember it all, Oh, I've seen the nights filled with bloodsport and pain. And the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained. Where will it end? Where will it end? Where will it end? Where will it end? |

Forced by the pressure,
The territories marked, No longer the pleasure, Oh, I've since lost the heart. Corrupted from memory, No longer the power, It's creeping up slowly, The last fatal hour. Oh, I don't what made me, What gave me the right, To mess with your values, And change wrong to right. Please keep your distance, The trail leads to here, There's blood on your fingers, Brought on by fear. I campaigned for nothing, I worked hard for this, I tried to get to you, You treat me like this. It's just second nature, It's what we've been shown, We're living by your rules, That's all that we know. I tried to get to you, I tried to get to you, I tried to get to you. I tried to get to you. |

Guess you dreams always end.
They don't rise up, just descend, But I don't care anymore, I've lost the will to want more, I'm not afraid not at all, I watch them all as they fall, But I remember when we were young. Those with habits of waste, Their sense of style and good taste, Of making sure you were right, Hey don't you know you were right? I'm not afraid anymore, I keep my eyes on the door, But I remember.... Tears of sadness for you, More upheaval for you, Reflects a moment in time, A special moment in time, Yeah we wasted our time, We didn't really have time, But we remember when we were young. And all God's angels beware, And all you judges beware, Sons of chance, take good care, For all the people not there, I'm not afraid anymore, I'm not afraid anymore, I'm not afraid anymore, Oh, I'm not afraid anymore. |

Change of speed, a change of style
A change of scene, with no regrets A chance to watch admire the distance Still occupied - though you forget Different colours, different shades Over each mistakes were made I took the blame Directionless, so plain to see A loaded gun won't set you free So you say We'll share a drink and step outside An angry voice and one who cried We'll give you everything and more The strain's too much, can't take much more Oh I've walked on water, run through fire Can't seem to feel it anymore It was me - waiting for me Hoping for something more Me - see me in this time - Hoping for something else |

Confusion in her eyes that says it all.
She's lost control. And she's clinging to the nearest passer by, She's lost control. And she gave away the secrets of her past, And said I've lost control again, And a voice that told her when and where to act, She said I've lost control again. And she turned to me and took me by the hand and said, I've lost control again. And how I'll never know just why or understand, She said I've lost control again. And she screamed out kicking on her side and said, I've lost control again. And seized up on the floor, I thought she'd die. She said I've lost control again. She's lost control again. She's lost control. She's lost control again. She's lost control. Well I had to 'phone her friend to state her case, And say she's lost control again. And she showed up all the errors and mistakes, And said I've lost control again. But she expressed herself in many different ways, Until she lost control again. And walked upon the edge of no escape, And laughed I've lost control again. She's lost control again. She's lost control. She's lost control again. She's lost control. I could live a little better with permissible (the miserable?) lies, When the darkness broke in, I just broke down and cried. I could live a little in a wider line, When the change is done, when the dare is gone, To lose control. When the dare is gone... |

To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you,
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you, I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you, In a room with a window in the corner I found truth. In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more, As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor, And with cold streel, odour on their bodies mad a move to connect, But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left. I did everything, everything I wanted to, I let them use you for their own ends, To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you. To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you. |

I travelled far and wide through many different times,
What did you see there? I saw the saints with their toys, What did you see there? I saw all knowledge destroyed. I travelled far and wide through many different times. I travelled far and wide through prisons of the cross, What did you see there? The power and glory of sin, What did you see there? The blood of Christ on their skins, I travelled far and wide thorugh many different times. I travelled far and wide and unknown martyrs died, What did you see there? I saw the one sided trials, What did you see there? I saw the tears as they cried, They had tears in their eyes, Tears in their eyes, Tears in their eyes, Tears in their eye. |
