Another Day

Wasted years in the august sun And you've been dreaming of the places that you can run to But the oracle's spoken and it looks like smoke All the way down from the headlines to the horoscopes As a kid you prayed it wouldn't come If it did you'd let yourself grow numb Another red sunset another day And the colour of the year is antiseptic gray Now will you sleep through summer like you slept through spring And in the fog of that fever see the shape of things to come and go Don't you know this happened once before I suppose it'll happen evermore Time stands still Time beholds the bodies on the hill Years go by Leave us staring at the sky Time will wait Out the drift in secondary plates Shape and shake We'll never see it coming Wasted years in the august sun Sixteen centuries come and gone Another red sunset another day Another red sunset another day
