A Band Called Sad - Haniwa Lyrics

Face down
I call like it like I see it
And nobody knows what it's been like
Here--
Where it feels good
In a way that no one knows it should
That we won't
Be here long
I just can't believe you happened when you did:
In color and stereo
With endless promise and nothing to cope
The compost that could have been history
Rising from nothing but dust
And the will of the universe, besides
It's not like they told me that it'd be
They signed me up
And they didn't give me a jersey
Sleep in
The world will turn without us
If you close the blinds we'll be safe
Here--
'Cause I know you
Excuse fever of one-hundred-and-two
And you won't
Be here long
I just can't believe this had to happen when it did:
In color and stereo
With endless promise and nothing to cope
The compost that could have been history
I just can't believe this had to happen to us when it did:
In black & white on a morning show
Broke his coffee mug on the linoleum floor
And you cried on the stairs cause you didn't know what was gonna happen next--
