The Rise Of Science - And I Heard It Like Burning lyrics

A good time was all it was I'll bet you'll keep looking up at them Wondering, "was it not fair?" Light through a kaleidoscope I keep sinking a torn up note Left all the other ones ideal intact We were rivals, understood Tally up the points They tapered to our ends Lamentless, almost friends Reflect what we've become Cheap shots and makeup We're far from catching up I know you won't call me back, so don't call me back You think what you don't know won't hurt you now And the good news never stays Make it through this one alive I'll bet your mouth dropped open wide Disclaim permission, reach to the crowd Quick gasps turn to a choke A fake laugh from a cynical joke Out of the question, desperately undone A minor threat, misled Determines who out smart I can quit while I'm ahead Two-starred remarks, impressive Reflect what we've become Cheap shots and makeup We're far from catching up I know you won't call me back, so don't call me back You think what you don't know won't hurt you now And the good news never stays I tore them up, all of them I burned them out Forgot all that was said I never meant for it to come to this Needed to be friends We needed to be friends
