False Goodbyes

Echo And The Bunnymen · Reverberation [1990]

Whisper who dares

Your daylight glows

I doubt that it shows me

Covered in glory



A problem shared

Is entertainment

In your hands

Ain't life bland



What matter or

What consequence in truth

All our lives strange honor

In a realm of false goodbyes



Suspend belief

But keep it brief

Thereby hangs a tale friend

Hung from your wit's end



And is that all

The level best

That you can do

More fool you



What matter or

What consequence in truth

All our lives strange honor

In a realm of false goodbyes



Such dedication in the plot

Such animation and for what

A pile of nothing life is not

And when the crowd come out to play

I'll read the lesson for today

About the one that got away



What matter or

What consequence in truth

All our lives strange honor

In a realm of false goodbyes



What matter or

What consequence in truth

All our lives strange honor

In a realm of false goodbyes
