lyrics

Stand too close to the bubbles
Getting splashed when they burst in the sky
Dreaming of a life less troubled,
But that dream is a pipe dream
The rain pisses down at twilight
Muddy rain in a drain, in a hole in the ground
But I'm not gonna wallow
Cos I've got this hole that I've got to get out

And I mean it, that I feel it, and I really want to face it
That I need you, my friends, to catch me when i fall

We're selling ideas to alleviate our fears
We're throwing it all away

We want to settle down, cos we're too old to get around

And I mean it, that I feel it, and I really want to face it
That I need you, my friends, to catch me when i fall

We're selling ideas to illuminate our fears
We're throwing it all away

We're selling ideas to eliminate out peers
We're throwing it all away

We're selling ideas, we're shedding our tears
We're throwing ideas away
