Song That I Heard

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In the same reckless city Where Great Antonio died On the island, in the river With a mountain at its side I came to scatter ashes Of the bridges I had burned And to know the name Of the song that I heard Yeah, I know the name Of the song that I heard [Verse 2] Like a moonlight mathematician Has attracted my concerns And I multiplied my options And divided my returns Sacrificed the angel Who was tugging at my shirt I was already claimed by the song that I heard Yeah, already chained to the song when I heard [Verse 3] From the corner of my eye I caught the shadow of a girl But my shoes were tied together And my face was in the dirt Her gentle eyes said everything Before she said a word I know I was changed by the song that I heard Yeah, I knew right away by the song I heard [Verse 4] In the cult of desperation We stay just behind the curve And, no one here admits We're getting more than we deserved I was born a first child She was born a third We were already maimed by the songs that we heard Yeah, already claimed by the songs we heard [Instrumental] [Verse 5] Did I make you out a phoenix From the ashes of a bird? Did we build out our palace And watch it as it burned? It's kind of like a lesson that Had to be unlearned [Bridge] Like fool-maker Fall-taker Forsaker Heartbreaker Earth-quaker Soul-shaker Soothsayer Moon-payer Sun-slayer (Sun-slayer) Yea-sayer (Yea-sayer) Mistaker Rattlesnaker [Outro] We were already changed By the songs We heard
