| Put down your things and rest a while
|
| You know we’ve both nowhere to go
|
| Yeah, Daddy had to crash
|
| He’s always halfway there, you know
|
| And no, I don’t pretend there’s any more of that
|
| They say one day, you’ll look up and laugh
|
| And hear the same sad echo when you walk
|
| Yeah, the same sad echo when you talk loud and clear
|
| It’s the same as the same sad echo around here
|
| I promise you this winter
|
| I will worship you like gold
|
| And ride your train forever
|
| Electric fortunes to be told
|
| And I don’t want to question or even celebrate
|
| All the joy you took and then gave back too late
|
| It’s the same sad echo when you lie
|
| It’s the same sad echo when you try to be clear
|
| It’s the same as the same sad echo around here
|
| Well, I woke up right here in a pool of sweat
|
| And with a box of pills and you
|
| Yeah and I’m going to keep my head
|
| I’m going to keep my cool, I’m so in love with you
|
| Yes and in another world, nothing was like this
|
| There may have been a girl, there never was a kiss
|
| The poison came in liquid
|
| She was naked all the time
|
| And no one could explain it
|
| It was all between the lines
|
| And I don’t seem to trust anyone no more
|
| It could be faith, but I’m just not sure
|
| It’s the same sad echo every day
|
| Yeah the same sad echo another way when you call
|
| It’s the same as the same sad echo most of all
|
| Oh well, you just got tired, you just gave in
|
| You took it hard, then you just quit
|
| You let me down, you dropped the ball
|
| You fell on your face most of all
|
| And I don’t want to mean anything to you
|
| And I don’t want to tempt you to be true
|
| It’s the same sad echo coming down
|
| It’s the same sad echo all around in my ears
|
| It’s the same as the same sad echo around here |
