I'll Be Around

Yes, I'm only a man Judgements of something ancient Clocking my time as finished The same is all replacements Ignorance is complacency Why are you purposely fading? No stand, no sit, no stopping Ripping through the neon prophecies Got let off by a ticket stub My time is fading fast Through your mouth and out yours (You never do what you say) Say what? (Shine till the sun comes up) Come down (You oughta wash your hands and pray) For what? (Shaking hands, swapping dirty blood) Pass it round (You never do what you say) Say what? (Shine till the sun comes up) For now (You promise that you'll come around?) I'll be around So I fear, but I don't know what it is So I want, but I pretend I don't need So here's the pain of the stubbled lover's kiss I throw my pages all away like shaking wrists So shake me down Shake me up (Shake me down, shake me down) So shake me down Shake me up (Shake me down, shake me down) So shake me up (You never do what you say) Say what? (Shine till the sun comes up) Hey now (You oughta wash your hands and pray) For what? (Shaking hands, swapping dirty blood) Pass it round (You never do what you say) Say what? (Shine till the sun comes up) Come down (You promise that you'll come around?) I'll be around I tell me it ain't hard As I hold my breath thinking why Tell me to my beating heart That I know for sure Better than I can know for sure What it did My mistakes bend like payphone metal I never know just what will come Some place our hands bind together River and me children Longer than a trillion Get what I am given, forever (So shake me up) (You never do what you say) Say what? (Shine till the sun comes up) Come down (You oughta wash your hands and pray) For what? (Shaking hands, swapping dirty blood) Pass it round (You never do what you say) Say what? (Shine till the sun comes up) For now (You promise that you'll come around?)
