Tom P Buckley

Lyrics

[Intro]
[percussive acoustic guitar strumming, palm muting]
[Verse 1]
[male vocals, tenor]
No ghost need apply
Just jobs inside
Counting nights for the factory
All the kids worship his name
All the left-webbed hands
It wasn't always this way
It wasn't always this way
[Chorus]
[drums enter, driving backbeat]
Now it's one more time
Out in the lights
Burning up
Memories by fine
Sealing up
Medicine now
We're all gone, we're all gone, we're all gone for you
We're all gone, we're all gone, we're all gone for...
[Bridge]
[drums drop out, acoustic guitar continues]
Sure as I can stand
Nowhere I am
I'm somebody else when I'm alone
The factory I know
It's worked till dawn
I don't carry on that way
And he says it's time for you
Head on over to the shed
Here blades are used
Go on in there
No one ever leaves there
Not a friend that understands
[Outro]
[full band, high-register belted vocals]
So I run
How far can I really get in the sun?
I run, hey
Out in the desert I swear I believe in you now
[vocal ad-libs, high-pitched melodic wailing]
Swear I believe in you now
Swear I believe in you now
[acoustic guitar outro, fading strumming]
