Lyrics

[Tim Browne] I'd believe you if you said we were already dead That there was no hope of rescue or return I can see us plucked instead from the foot of our death beds With nothing of a flourish or concern Oh nothing packs a sting like a walk down our old street And the memories of past lives so profane I recall them when I sing in a morbid reckoning Of the things I've lost and those that still remain But the light will surely go From everyone and everything you'll evеr know From coast to burning coast, we are rendеred flesh and bone And unequivocally alone But lie, and I'll believe you For one faint spark on a breathless night I would trade you all the rest of time and everything I own For one last kiss at the perfect time I would forego all the peace of mind I've labored to know I will wait and helplessly hope Swallow my pride while choking on hello And I'll remain until I know That foolish kid has given up the ghost But lie, and I'll believe you [Recorded voice] What fun, if this is the rest of all possible worlds, in life One finds, that this is the best of all possible worlds
