lyrics

"Why don't we pick up the pieces,
fill our hearts with what pleases us?
'Why don't you let your hair down,
and show us your thighs?'
another gentleman replies.
'I guess that you needed us more than we needed you,
so can't you find a way to please us?'
Off to another realm,
is this the final goodbye?

Our veins run deep
with all the answers that you seek
to all the secrets that you keep,
but deep in the heart of a world that's expired,
I have unrealistic desires,
so where do I stand now?
Where do I stand now?

It's like we're playing cowboys and engines,
running in circles, but it doesn't hurt at all.
It's like we're sleeping on park benches,
playing the game, but I don't wanna play at all.

Approximation: Ten years.
Affiliation: Twelve.
Exploration: Endless.
Indication: None.

'Cause your veins run deep
with all the answers that you seek
to all the secrets that you keep,
but deep in the heart of a world that's expired,
I have unrealistic desires,
so where do I stand now?
Where do I stand now?"
