It underlies thoughts that linger
Lies misapplied in our tips of fingers
Here we are stopped at empire's end
Beyond what once we thought we could mend
And we wish to be fully grown
With no cowardice in our bones
It's on my mind now and everyday
Since our Alaska passed away
Hoping on a wishbone
You're just lying in bed
Gotta built it - build it of stone
Paint it cherry red
Now I got it I'm suffering alone
Stuck inside my head
Gotta build it - build it of stone
Paint it cherry red
It underlies thoughts that linger
Lies misapplied in our tips of fingers
No one says that time won't fold
Lying still growing old
It underlies thoughts that linger
Lies misapplied in our tips of fingers
No one says that time won't fold
Lying still growing old
