[instrumental intro] [verse 1] Taking on a lofty assignment Looking for some head realignment There’s a flock of birds in the garden And some crimes deserve not a pardon But that’s a long bow to stretch There’s deadlines to make that haven’t been met And supplies won’t last here forever I hope at least until our way out is tethered 'Cause recycled goods, won’t save us now They’ll buy us time, I hope, somehow [chorus] Standing here, mouth agape With things falling out of it Not worthy of using a name Nothing worthwhile, not even a bit Loosely assembled and lacking structure I’m hoping they don’t result in a fracture ‘Cause not everything needs to be heard Evidently; Words for the sake of words [verse 2] Exploring caves on a mountain Balance gets hard to maintain There's herds of bison on the horizon And a mistrustful gaze is worth keeping eyes on Are we still within reach Have we managed to reign in the deceit Supplies so low it's time to ration Only one way out, who'll be able to latch on? 'Cause saying prayers, won’t save us now They'll fade in space, be praised somehow [chorus] Standing here, mouth agape With things falling out of it Not worthy of using a name Nothing worthwhile, not even a bit Loosely assembled and lacking structure I’m hoping they don’t result in a fracture ‘Cause not everything needs to be heard Evidently; Words for the sake of words (For the sake of words) [guitar solo] So clear and concise, an explanation delivered One ear in and the other one out Noises and sounds in the form of a sentence Emphatically sure what it's about [chorus] Standing here, mouth agape With things falling out of it Not worthy of using a name Nothing worthwhile, not even a bit Loosely assembled and lacking structure I’m hoping they don’t result in a fracture ‘Cause not everything needs to be heard Evidently; Words for the sake of words (For the sake of words) (Words for the sake) (For the sake of words) (Words for the sake of words)
