Lyrics Never the Twain - Harry Manx

Well those who know don't say
And those who say don't know
You can travel only so far
Till there's nowhere left to go
When the world's a race track
Yeah and you're a snail
Did love walk by and leave you
Weak and pale?

Wiser men than you and I have failed
So what if the one who stands out
Is the one who gets nailed?
Wiser men than you and I have failed

Some folks wish they could live in some kingdom of truth
They're watching time with the saints and sinners
And the saddhus
Here in a world of bright promises all come and gone
All come and gone
It's better to light one candle before your day is done

Fools are all ears, but hear nothing that's being said
Man bites dogma and the battles rage inside his head
The fearful unite and try to own your world
Oh it's true, but love and you don't care a lick about what they do

Wiser men than you and I have failed
So what if the one who stands out
Is the one who gets nailed?
Wiser men than you and I have failed.
