We spend our lives
Wishing we were home
Lying on our backs
Curing this syndrome
Let the rain fall down
Water to the trees
Sitting on the ground
Let life wash over me
Presently I'm sitting in a desk against a wall
Cracking every knuckle
Sitting out the bell forestalling freedom from
All the scheduled classes that they run
It's really dumb (oh)
In the mirror now I wonder
Staring into my own iris
Logic now is torn asunder
Dark reflection of my virus
We spend our lives
Wishing we were home
Lying on our backs
Curing this syndrome
Let the rain fall down
Water to the trees
Sitting on the ground
Let life wash over me
Presently I'm sitting in a hole inside a wall
Waiting out the bombings
Sitting out the screams forestalling freedom from
All the scheduled strafing that they run
It's really dumb (oh)
I seem stitched in my own skin
From the devil, seems defenceless
Oh God! He may even win...
Won't you take away all my darkness?
We spend our lives
Wishing we were home
Lying on our backs
Curing this syndrome
Let the rain fall down
Water to the trees
Sitting on the ground
Let life wash over me
