1000 Years Lyrics by Melissa Auf der Maur

Out of Our Minds (Deluxe Edition)

2010

[Verse 1]
Under my tongue I carry a tune
Deep in the earth I can hardly reach
My mind is humming and buzzing, it's numbing
When I can't get it to you
[Pre-Chorus]
This melody is my carpet ride
'Cross the ocean to you and you
Reaching out to you through this tune
'Round the globe just to get it to you
[Chorus]
We've been singing the same song
For over a thousand years
His death spoke to me
And her birth sang in perfect harmony
[Pre-Chorus]
This melody is my carpet ride
'Cross the ocean to you and you
Reaching out to you through this tune
'Round the globe just to get it to you
[Chorus]
We've been singing the same song
For over a thousand years
His death spoke to me
And her birth sang in perfect harmony
My grave will bring me there
Deep in the earth
Singing that same old melody
[Verse 2]
Before Adam, before Eve
The lizard sang this melody
Now it's twisted and it's torn
By felines and all you bores
Pick a pack, the troops, it's time
We've got melodies to spin
Come on, bring, leaders and men
We've got some miracles to spin
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh
Ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh
[Chorus]
We've been singing the same song
For over a thousand years
His death spoke to me
And her birth sang in perfect harmony
My grave will bring me there
Deep in the earth you'll find me
Singing that same, same, same old melody
Same old melody
My grave will bring me there
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh
