milk and money

Lyrics

i dream of all the years decaying, i dream of bitter endings, street smiles, hateful goodbyes, demented lies, i dream of guns with red round triggers, and bullets that won't ever miss, and wounds that won't heal, hands that won't feel, is this hallowed ground sinking, will tears stop their falling, can i speak the truth if they cut my tongue, one night you wake up you're screaming, with trembling hands, and the frightening part, is you don't understand, and as we go on living, each day we must tell ourselves, that we have to carry on, and every night as we lay down, and deliver our prayers, to live to see another day, but then down here no one cares, and your troubles will be found, buried six feet in the ground, we dream a land of milk and honey, of coffee mornings bright and sunny, sex on the phone, you're not alone, and every night as we lay down, and deliver our prayers, to live to see another day, but when nightmares come around, we'll be drinking all our wine, buried six feet in the ground
