blast loud
heard by the mass crowd
mixing with the storm clouds
bringing the rain
is there any consolation?
give it a rest
we're not giving it up right yet

headstrong
taking it all wrong
listen to the swan songs
they're always right
an all expenses paid trip
you and a friend
you're all that matters
so I want to skip it to the end

promise the world
I promise little girl
through the spasms and swirls
to get the record straight
if you can wait
I'll promise the world to you

hard pressed
given the true test
I would never have guessed
everyone knows
reality's a death trap
get in the van
you're lonely spinning
while I'm doing everything I can

promise the world
I promise little girl
through the spasms and swirls
to get the record straight
if you can wait
I'll promise the world to you
