Verse
My world astir and sickly
Spits out our voices singing
Tra la la on high now
To kingdom come so slightly
Herein the void in your place
I twitch and tweak in allusion
To sit and stare so blankly
Until all hope is used up
Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting
Where do you go when I'm around
What have I done What have I lost that's so defeating
And have the nerve to wear the crown
Refrain
Na na na na na na hey hey
Na na na na na na hey hey
Na na na na na na hey hey
Na na na na na na hey hey
Verse
In Some dark room
A smoky figure fills me full
Makes my head swell in ruin
My family kneels at their pew
They nod We believe in what you're doing
I feel it rise above me
The western landscapes towering
And from my shell of a body
The flowers blossom for picking
Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting
Where do you go when I'm around
What have I done What have I lost that's so defeating
And have the nerve to wear the crown
Refrain
Na na na na na na hey hey
Na na na na na na hey hey
Na na na na na na hey hey
Na na na na na na hey hey
Na na na na na na hey hey
Na na na na na na hey hey
Na na na na na na hey hey
Na na na na na na hey hey
Bridge
I've painted your patterns but found them attractive
Now I have been leaning towards a life far more candid
Though led through the dark with your eyes as my candles
Where your life and my life directions can wrangle
And all of a sudden you've left me to handle
The reasons that never forbid me to stand tall
And somehow or somewhere I found out the secret
To sting alive without actually breathing
