A Distant History Lyrics by Idlewild

0

This fascination
Where did it come from?
What does it mean
When your fascinated by things?

But you know, you'll never see

I overheard this conversation
As it started to belong to me

Your convinced that where your born is where your from
No, your convinced that where your born is not where your from
Its only where your
Waiting to see it through
And not understanding why i had to

Be reminded that i'll tell you when i
Waiting for longer than i had to
Or could you just tell me now
Couldn't you tell me, now?

Even more money spent
Nothing left to go round
Even more money spent
Nothing left to go round

All these descriptions
Where did they come from?
Do they describe what you mean
Perfectly?
And how can i explain to you
How i know that
Its a natual order of the things that i believe

Your convinced that where your born is where your from
No, your convinced that where your born is not where your from
Its only where your
Waiting to see it through
Not understanding why i had to

Be reminded that i'll tell you when i
Waiting for longer than i had to
Or could you just tell me now?
Couldn't you tell me, now?

Even more money spent
Nothing left to go round
Even more money spent
Nothing left to go round
Nothing left to go round
Nothing left to go round
Nothing left to go round
