Tied this letter to the red balloon Flew this letter off across the ruse Along with all the plans I made Ooh...
Over crippled cranes and twisted steel Deadlines overgrown and missing wheels I told you so communicate Ooh... Told you so Told you so
The biggest of mistakes can be forgiven But a snowball of little white lies will crush your house
From the razor wire in old Iraq Oil is what you make the nation's flag Pray you never sleep again Ooh...
Oh and laughable the crying shame Oh the mark I made against your name I hope this finds you less than sane Ooh... Told you so Told you so
For you to think that history's rewritten You'd have to think the dead will be forgotten Your snowball of little white lies has crushed our house
When the pills you take No longer help you You're fading in your chair And would've met him We see the lightning You hear the birdsong You hear the voices you've been holding off for so long Words around you And then a hurricane A hundred thousand souls And everyone in pain We'll come and visit you We'll come and visit you
(Never sleep again)
When the pills you take No longer help you Fading in your garden chair With a wooden tool You see the lightning You'll hear the birdsong You hear the voices you've been holding off for so long Words around you And then a hurricane A hundred thousand punctured souls And everyone in pain We'll come and visit you We'll come and visit you
