Lyrics
Weeds grown Should have known On our own⨠We wait⨠Single file⨠An empty smile And all the while We wait I hear the word is on the wing I don't believe in anything Cast aside⨠This great divide With foolish pride We wait⨠Off the trail⨠We eat our tails Bound to fail⨠And wait I hear the word is on the wing I don't believe in anything A chorus of voices rise to sing I don't believe in anything Used to Believe in you Yet all we do Is wait
