We're character actors from the Tower of Babel   Bewildered, burned out hardly able   To sit astride the high wire cable   It's hard to balance, a little unstable.      Through broken eyes and contact lenses   Watched you draw your future tenses   See kisses of flame blow out of your lips   You're back telling me your Apocalypse.      Don't get me wrong, I'll be strong   When the slowburn sunset come along   You've gotta stay the night   I gotta think that you might.      We've tried a handful of bills and a handful of pills   We've tried making movies from a volume of stills   [But] the words fell like hailstones,   bouncing at our feet,   Covering our feelings with a frozen sheet.      A chance to move, I take a shot   I get cold - you get hot   We look outside, lyin' awake   See birds breaking surface on a silent lake.      But don't get me wrong, I'll be strong   When I'm back on the Isle of Avalon   Dont get me wrong, I'll be strong   When the slow burn sunset come along   You've got to stay the night   I've got to think that you might.      Don't try make it easy, it'll cut you down to size   Darlin' we've got to trust in something   We're shooting down our skies   shooting down our skies
