I was left to
my own devi-i-i-ices
many days fell away
with nothing to show
And the walls kept
tumbling down
in the city
that we lo-o-o-ove
Great clouds roll
over the hills
bringing darkness
from abo-o-o-ove
But if you close
your eyes
does it almost feel like
nothing changed at all
And if you close
your e-eyes does it
almost feel like
you've been
here befo-ore
How am I gonna be
an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be
an optimist about this?
We were caught
up and lost
in all of our vices
In your pose
as the dust
settles around us
And the walls kept
tumbling down
in the city
that we lo-o-o-ove
Great clouds roll
over the hills
bringing darkness
from abo-o-o-ove
But if you close
your eyes
does it almost feel like
nothing changed at all
And if you close
your e-eyes does it
almost feel like
you've been
here befo-ore
How am I gonna be
an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be
an optimist about this?
Oh where do we begin
the rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin
the rubble or our sins?
And the walls kept
tumbling down
in the city
that we lo-o-o-ove
Great clouds roll
over the hills
bringing darkness
from abo-o-o-ove
But if you close
your eyes
does it almost feel like
nothing changed at all
And if you close
your e-eyes does it
almost feel like
you've been
here befo-ore
How am I gonna be
an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be
an optimist about this?
if you close your e-eyes
Does it almost feel like
nothing changed
at a-a-all
