I rise
to fall
short change
long haul
no room
to roam
no place
like home
I don't know why
we tilt at windmills
There's no reply
high winds on the high hills
ooh,
we've got blood to let
and cake to bake
ooh,
it ain't over yet
there's lots of love to make
We're sending owls to Athens
beneath a midnight moon
The unexpected happens
Launching lead balloons
I don't know why
we tilt at windmills
There's no reply
high winds on the high hills
ooh,
we've got blood to let
and cake to bake
ooh,
it ain't over yet
there's promises to break
We're sending owls to Athens
beneath a midnight moon
The unexpected happens
Like tears in a monsoon
Before and after WIFI
What have we become?
I watched you turn a blind eye
East of Eden's slum
I don't know why
we tilt at windmills
There's no reply
high winds on the high hills
ooh,
we've got blood to let
and cake to bake
ooh,
it ain't over yet
there's lots of love to make
We're sending owls to Athens
beneath a midnight moon
The unexpected happens
on autumn afternoons
We carry coal to Matewan
sweeping the dirt floor
we're sending sand to Tuscon
and rice to Singapore
