After The Fall
(专辑: Other People's Lives - 2006)
I
just had a
really bad fall And this time it was harder to get up than before I
shouted to the
heavens and a
vision appeared I
cried out "Can you help?", it replied "Not at all" After the
fall is over You'll be on your own After the
fall is over There'll be wrecks to clear in this war zone There'll be much to clean and time to atone But while it's dark you can shelter here In the
bleak midwinter when you're feeling the
fear Ah, but when the
mist clears, the
sun will shine again A
life's gotta have direction After the
deals are done You gotta ask the
question Ask yourself why you go through it all When morality kicks in, who will catch you when you fall I'm a
sinner waiting at the
traveler's rest Seeking refuge from the
storm, and I'm a
grateful guest And a
profit cries out in high platitudes I
smile and say, "Hey, I
was just passing through" And an angel cries, "Wait, we'll tell you when to move" Even at the
gates of Heaven I'll be waiting in a
queue Seems like I'm falling upwards Into the
great white blue And all my imperfections You can learn your lines and fabricate a
show But the
way we come in, yeah, that's the
way we're gonna go We cheat and lie to conquer our fears We can put on a
smile just to cover up the
tears Ah, but when the
mist clears, the
sun will shine again After the
fall (after the
fall is over) There'll be a
better day After the
fall is over So I
fell on my arse, now I'm feeling the
pain But the
feeling will pass and so will the
shame The
bigger the
ego, the
bigger the
fall When your reputation counts for nothing at all Ah, but when the
mist clears, the
sun will shine again I
will greet you when the
sun shines again After the
fall (after the
fall is over) There'll be a
better day After the
fall is over
