When Things Explode Lyrics by UNKLE

War Stories

0

[Verse 1: Ian Astbury]
Your skull froze little lives
In shadows where you hide
A life that was designed
You've been cheated, oh so blind
You laid it on the line
These twisted words of time
And how your spirit shines
I wish that you were mine

[Chorus: Ian Astbury]
Yeah, lately
I know that I've been crawling
I know that I've been falling
Into your dream

[Verse 2: Ian Astbury]
Imagine no more tears
Dissolving all your fears
With tooth and claw we fight
Into this endless night

[Chorus: Ian Astbury]
Yeah, lately
I know that I've been crawling
I know that I've been falling
Into your dream

[Verse 3: Ian Astbury]
I saw my tears in your eyes
You saw your tears in mine
We watched it burn together
I saw my fears in your eyes
You saw your fear in mine
We watched it burn together

[Bridge: Ian Astbury]
Watched it burn
Burn, yeah, burn
Watched it burn
Burn, yeah, burn
Watched it burn
Burn, watched it burn
Watched it burn
Burn, watched it burn

[Outro]
All is forgiven
