play you no sad songs

gone like like the faith you've spoken
lost like the dream you've tasted
run like the worlds on fire
when will you cut the wire?

pleased all of those around you
they left you the way they found you
fall like there is no bottom
one of the mis-begotten

(chorus)
you said, play you no sad songs
still i sing to you
tell me no harbor's safe from rain
empty the pantry
there's no food for you
but i don't hear you complain

one of the last to show me
life is a meter running
dance while the music's playing
bow when the song is fading
