Dead Ringer Lyrics by OnceOver

The Albatross

2006

This is the light touch on black keys
A sinking life raft on the seas
Every breath you take becomes the smoke you breathe
This is the tension and release, the pounding to relief
If in fashion, would you wear it on your sleeve?
Would you wear it on your sleeve?

Stay close, take care this time around (And after, and after)
Stay close, there's pitfalls underground (And after, and after)

Long roads and the ropes I tow
No, things will never change
Slingshots and the stones they throw
No, things will never change

Long roads and the ropes I tow
No, things will never change
Slingshots and the stones they throw
No, things will never change
They’ll never change

Wherever you face, it will come down
Wherever you go, I'll be crawling after
Sparkle and fade, the falling star hits home
Hits home

Wherever you face, it will come down
Wherever you go, I'll be crawling after
Sparkle and fade, the falling star hits home

Long roads and the ropes I tow
No, things will never change
Slingshots and the stones they throw
No, things will never change

Long roads and the ropes I tow
No, things will never change
Slingshots and the stones they throw
No, things will never, never

If I forget how to swim, and the tide pulls me in
Would you be there with me, or alone?
When I draw my last breath, and only silence is left
Would you be there with me, or alone?

When I forget how to swim, and the tide pulls me in
Would you be there, be there with me?
When I draw my last breath, and only silence is left
Would you be there, be there, be there, be there, be there
Be there, be there
