[00:10.77]He could fall and she could weep
[00:13.87]But as holy are her feet and hard with mention
[00:17.56]But dear they may not speak
[00:19.67]We fell tight when there is tension and their eyes could make us weak
[00:38.54]And his heart was full of fire at the man he had become
[00:43.54]And his soul was seldom higher with the falsities of fun
[00:46.94]He could embrace sweet desire as in moments as they pass
[00:50.77]But he feared it ever more, when he saw it didn't last
[01:10.08]We walk up Holland avenue
[01:13.55]and watch the rich as they consume

[02:20.58]You'll work your thumbs till they're sore
[02:25.27]And you'll work my heart till it's raw
[02:29.54]and you'll call and you'll call but you'll never be told
[02:36.71][02:33.46]and I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall
[03:08.51][03:01.50]We are basic lies
