It was all translucent

And we knew what we knew and we came out on the catwalk and climbed up to the top of the tightrope that was strung from our high hopes

You climbed up on my shoulders

We walked across

You, I know have a heart of gold

But that heart of gold's been turned to steel

You, I know have a heart of a child

But too many people told you how to feel

Well, there was blood on the face of the Mexican child

The light in his chest, they told him was guile

He screamed in the phone but all they could say was, "We know what we know."

And she already knew when she heard the tick, that the clock by the bed read 10:26

But it was one minute slow, one minute slow

No, I know what I know

And the headwind had turned not a minute too soon

The sail opened up like an army-knife spoon

And we made it shore, said "Oh my god, now I know what I know."

I know it's all about to go to sleep

Songs were done when I heard the melody

It's all green and gold

That's foolish, I know

I know
