lyrics

The weight of the world sitting square on your shoulders
You lie and and you wait, in its shade you get older
Then you, then you
The rise and the fall and the death and the glory
Surprise and dismay, wrote and read your own story
Yes you, yes you

This don't make no sense
The time, the take, the place
Now won't you hear me when I say
It's time to throw it all away

Yes it's time to stem the flow
All that you portray
Dispose, destroy, discard, disown
No more carrying the blame.

The tricks of the trade, in the dark, not below you
A meeting tonight at a place that you both knew
Stay low, stay low
An even affair is as wishful as thinking
The end of the game only comes when you're winning
Know how, you've got your know how

This don't make no sense
We can't see eye-to-eye
A spell, a charm that leaves no trace
It's time to throw it all away

On yourself by the road
Acting strong and brave
Weaker blow-by-blow
But you can sing your song
And you can dance, dance it all away
Till you can't dance no more
Don't need to prove what I know
