Snowball

Tied this letter to a red balloon
Few this letter off across the rooves
Along with all the plans i made
Over crippled cranes and twisted steel
Deadlines overgrown and missing wheels
A 'told you so' communique
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 an oily rag
And it's what you made the nation's flag
Pray you never sleep again
Oh and laughable the crying shame
Oh the mark i made against your name
I hope this finds you less than sane
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
Fading in your garden chair
A hundred and two
You'll see the light dim
You'll lose the birdsong
You'll hear the voices you've been holding off for so long
Buzzing 'round you
And then a hurricane
A hundred thousand souls
And every one in pain
They'll come and visit you
We'll come and visit you
When the pills you take
No longer help you
Fading in your garden chair
(Never sleep again)
A hundred and two
You'll see the light dim
You'll lose the birdsong
(Never sleep again)
You'll hear the voices you've been holding off for so long
Buzzing 'round you
And then a hurricane
(Never sleep again)
A hundred thousand souls
And every one in pain
They'll come and visit you
We'll come and visit you
They'll come and visit you
We'll come and visit you
(Never sleep again)
They'll come and visit you
We'll come and visit you
They'll come and visit you
We'll come and visit you
(Never sleep again)
They'll come and visit you
We'll come and visit you
(Never sleep again)
They'll come and visit you
We'll come and visit you
They'll come and visit you
We'll come and visit you...
Never sleep again
Never sleep again
Never sleep again
