Music & Lyrics by : Sixpence None The Richer

I look out to the fields
where blood is shed upon the ground
I breathe inbreathe out
change the channel(mute) the sound
I take a matcha cigaretteand a walk to clear my head
my stomach s reeling at the thought of all those (human beings dead)

I breathe inbreathe out
I go to do an interview
about a songthree minutes long
I just need something to do
especially when your dearest friend
was sent to cover Kosovo
his last assignment brought a bullet
and now he s gonehe s gone

feels like I m (fiddling) while Rome is burning down
should I put my (fiddle) downtake a rifle from the ground
God give me strength to pray that You will set things right
cause I m paralyzedI m paralyzed

I packed his books upleft the office
went to tell the wife (the news)
she fell in shockthe baby kickedshed a tear inside the womb
I breathe inbreathe out
soak the ground up with my eyes
It s hard to say a healing word
when your tongue is paralyzed

feels like I m (fiddling) while Rome is burning down
should I put my (fiddle) downtake a rifle from the ground
God give me strength to pray that You will set things right
cause I m paralyzedI m paralyzed
