Lyrics

I'm running out of miracles (Oh, my soul) And the streets alive with one man shows (Oh, my soul) The corner boys were moved along (Oh, my soul) We're plummeting, like crippled crows (Oh, my soul) Oh, long before you and I were born Others beat these benches with their empty cups To the night and its stars To be here and now, and who we are Another sunrise with my sad captains With who I choose to lose my mind And if it's so, we only pass this way but once What a perfect waste of time The BMX apothecary (Oh, my soul) The architect of infamy (Oh, my soul) For each and every train we missed (Oh, my soul) The bitter little Eucharist (Oh, my soul) Oh, long before you and I were born Others beat these benches with their empty cups To the night and its stars To the here and now, and who we are Another sunrise with my sad captains With who I choose to lose my mind And if it's so, we only pass this way but once What a perfect waste of time Another sunrise with my sad captains With who I choose to lose my mind And if it's so, we only pass this way but once What a perfect waste of time Another sunrise with my sad captains With who I choose to lose my mind And if it's so, we'd only pass this way but once What a perfect waste of time What a perfect waste of time
