Before the Lobotomy

Dreaming, I was only dreaming

Of another place and time

Where my family's from

Singing, I can hear them singing

When the rain had washed away

All these scattered dreams

Dying, everyone's reminded

Hearts are washed in misery

Drenched in gasoline

Laughter, there's no more laughter

Songs of yesterday now live in the underground

Life before the lobotomy

Christian sang the eulogy

Sign of my love a lost memory

From the end of the Century

Well it's enough to make you sick

To cast a stone and throw a brick

When the sky is falling down

It burned your dreams into the ground

Christian's lesson

Is what he's been sold

We are normal and self-controlled

Remember to learn to forget

Whiskey shots and cheap cigarettes

Well I'm not stoned, I'm just fucked up

I got so high, I can't stand up

I'm not cursed cause I've been blessed

I'm not in love cause I'm a mess

Like refugees

We're lost like refugees

Like refugees

We're lost like refugees

The brutality of reality

Is the freedom that keeps me from

Dreaming, I was only dreaming

Of another place and time

Where my family's from

Singing, I can hear them singing

When the rain had washed away all these scattered dreams

Dying, everyone's reminded

Hearts are washed in misery

Drenched in gasoline

Laughter, there's no more laughter

Songs of yesterday

Now live in the underground
