lyrics

The sound of useless words always gets you where it wants you
The sight of her eyes makes you wanna break down and cry
But you don’t min,d you don’t mind
It always used to please the way you’re feeling

The way you’re acting always makes me wonder
If I could be part of the things you do
But I won’t cry, I won’t cry
I never touched the blankets of desire

Tell me darling
Tell me please
About the heartbeat misery
Tell me darling
Tell me dear
Would you come with me
Or stay here
It’s one stone for each and every tragedy

Inside you there’s a lot of people trying ot get out
So you don’t depend on the ones who are trying to get in you
With a lot to think, and a lot to say
And a lack of things to do but acting tragic

Tell me darling
Tell me please
About the heartbeat misery
Tell me darling
Tell me dear
Would you come with me
Or stay here
It’s one stone for each and every tragedy
(In each and every town)

When a sign sais: ‘This way out’ it’s time to go home
But home is where the dirt is
Never to be found
So kill it with a silver bullet
And put it in the ground

Scatter the -
Across the land
- right here
That’s where I stand
Scatter the –
Across the land
- right here
Right where I stand
It’s one stone
For each and every tragedy
In each and every town

Etc.
