"Rubber Band Man" lyrics

When you can't win
For losing
And the beggars start choosing the chaos in your head
Calls the cracks to start showing
All knowing, all glowing with the light of the

Dying to raise the dead, oh

You're a world away
But you're still the same
I know you by your heart
And I will call you by your name
It's a long way
From the crack to the break
You know that I remember everything

Steady yourself
And your tumbleweed words
Be a street corner preacher
Or just feed the birds
But don't hold to yourself
With hard mortar and stone
Be a rubber band man
Make the water your bones

Dying just to live now

You're a world away
But you're still the same
I know you by your heart
And I will call you by your name
And it's a long way
From the crack to the break
You know that I remember everything

When I said, "Forever"
You said, "Get back in the car"
Nothing lasts forever babe
You know it breaks my heart

And I'll call you anything
That you like
And I am free and I'm able
To call you the second that you die
Just to live
Now

You're a world away
But you're still the same
I know you by your heart
And I will call you by your name
And it's a long way
From the crack to the break
You know that I remember everything

When I said, "Forever"
You said, "Get back in the car"
Nothing lasts forever, babe
You know it breaks my heart
You're a world away
But you're still the same
You know that I remember everything

New ink on your skin
Red lips in the dark
Nothing lasts forever, babe
You know it breaks my heart
Put a shiver on your skin
Do your hair in the car
If nothing lasts forever, babe
Then can we make a start?
