lyrics

INSIDE

I see faces
Just skin and bones
With desperation in the eyes
But they survive

I hear her calling
A voice so close
"Hey, come on inside
People, he's alright"

Then the king is coming down
Shaking my hand
And his head
Cracking 'neath a crown

He says "We're gonna have a party tonight
Since you arrived
But we party quiet
Welcome on the inside"

People dancing
Without music
Up and down Desolation Row
I wanna go

But then the king is coming 'round
Holding me back
And the cracks
Let his brain drop right out

He says "Look at this party tonight
Very quiet
It's nice, it's right
Welcome on the inside"

And I say "When'd you stop"
He says "We've not"
I say "Yeah, there's nothing you got
You lost it all long before
Somewhere in the war
Or in hiding out and starving
When you began carving
The lines in your face
Carved the smile away
And the tears and the frowns
Until it's just you crown
Keeping you whole
But your pulse is down
The blood's run out
And you're just a jar
That won't make it far
But we all have to die
So let's do it right
Go back to the inside
And sing with me tonight"
