Barnstorm

It was a barnstorm in the year of the Lord
Trying to make the most, make the most of it
And then her heart poured into tears at the door
The things you do for love, in the throws of it
But there’s no easy answers, darling
I didn’t mean to pinch your nerve
Can’t you hear the future calling
sick on the phone trying to get out of work?
A growing concern when the courts all adjourned
The hammer finally fell, at least close to it
And when the storm surged we hid in a church
You know the things they like to do to socialists
But there’s no easy answer, baby
I didn’t mean to be so cold
We could build that new beginning
or wait for that joyless end to unfold
Have you read the times?
Yeah, it’s not looking bright
Flew too close to Icarus
Paradise is ignorance
Have you read the times?
Yeah, it’s not looking bright
Flew too close to Icarus
Paradise is ignorance
Have you read the Times?
Have you read the Times?
Right is wrong is right
Right is wrong is right
Makes me wonder why
Makes me wonder why
Can you pass a needle right through the eye of London?
You took a hard turn, bridges to burn
I listened while you yelled and I took minutes
I played a nocturne, lessons to learn
How’d you catch my fish with no hooks in it?
But there’s no easy answer, baby
The end is finally rearing its head
We could build that new beginning
Or maybe we skip to the ending instead
Have you read the times?
Yeah, it’s not looking bright
Flew too close to Icarus
Paradise is ignorance
Have you read the times?
Yeah, it’s not looking bright
Flew too close to Icarus
Weaponize indifference
Have you read the Times?
Have you read the Times?
Right is wrong is right
Right is wrong is right
Makes me wonder why
Makes me wonder why
Can you pass a needle right through the eye of London?
It was a barnstorm in the year of the Lord
Trying to make the most, make the most of it
And then her heart poured into tears at the door
The things you do for love, in the throws of it
Have you read the times?
It’s not looking bright
Flew too close to Icarus
Paradise is ignorance
Have you read the times?
Yeah, it’s not looking bright
Weaponize indifference
Flew too close to Icarus
Have you read the Times?
Have you read the Times?
Right is wrong is right
Right is wrong is right
Makes me wonder why
Makes me wonder why
Can you pass a needle right through the eye of London?
