Lyrics for Song: Century After Century
Lyrics for Album: The Remote Part [2002]
Since you're breathing
Is it all that space can fill?
So just by looking in
I'll be looking still
You find and follow stories well
You're naked except for a newspaper
The headline's telling me
That fortune favours the brave
I've never been known to be that brave
What I want is on its way out
All I needed was an easier way to stay
Walking around the city
As the light fades
Is that all that you remain?
I'm thinking about these promises
that I have ever made
I know what they will never say
I know what they will never say
Century after century they remain
And if I need to remember
That the entire earth is outside this window
So close the windows
Keep the curtains shut forever
And if I need to remember
The entire earth is outside this room
So close the windows
Close the windows
Isn't it romantic to be romantic
When you don't understand what you love?
Or if a word like that could ever mean anything
But what you want is on its way out
I didn't hear cheerleading for creative writers
And your cheekbones
Don't taste of anything at all
It's on its way out
It's just an easier way to stay
Talking about a city
That the light made
Is it all that you remain?
It's the same story told
But it's these stories that don't fade
I know what they will never say
I know what they will never say
Century after century they remain
Is it all that you remain?
(I know what they will never say)
