In a Minute, Sublime

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When you went away I got the word, I saw the wallpaper fade As sheets in which you were placed Burst into flames I form a chain of coincidences Without a name See, in my mind I've pictures of our sacristy You'll kneel, you'll pray [Chorus] Oh, what a lonely, heart strung feeling to be out of time In a minute, sublime Oh, what a lonely, heart strung feeling to be out of time In a minute, sublime [Verse 2] The wings of your escape Their shadows steal the light from my days Between the bars all solitary, your ghost I keep On solitary staves [Chorus] Oh, what a lonely, heart strung feeling to be out of time In a minute, sublime Oh, what a lonely, heart strung feeling to be out of time In a minute, sublime [Bridge] I took a message to your alibi And plead my case on highest stage Solemn and grave See, what you want is what you're getting Don't you realise? You think it's fine But it's enough that you're still waiting to be canonised? Why do you stake your claim in mine? [Chorus] Oh, what a lonely, heart strung feeling to be out of time In a minute, sublime Oh, what a lonely, heart strung feeling to be out of time In a minute, sublime [Post-Chorus] I'll still hold onto what's beating, store you in my mind Like a page in a file Or like a phone that won't stop ringing, someone's on the line But not this time It still calls for deleting from the real hard Drive of the mind [Chorus] Oh, what a lonely, heart strung feeling to be out of time In a minute, sublime
