The Ballad of Bodmin Pill

Lyrics

Smash glass against the wall
 Curse the music on the radio that the neighbours play
 ♪
 Door slams, she turns her head
 Watches through the window as he pulls away
 Funny how your racing brain drives you so mad
 When all the while you feel so numb
 Too old to be clean, far too young to be broken
 Like an army we come
 Cut back, left behind
 I watched you self-destructing oh so many times
 ♪
 Shot down, once again
 Sitting in a chair, crying what am I going to do with my life
 Just learn to hide the way that you really feel
 Never let them know that you're scared
 But understand that you're not the special only one
 Watch us now, watch us real close
 How we all dance with this fire 'cause it's all that we know
 And as the spotlight turns toward us we all try our best to show
 We are lost, we are freaks
 We are crippled, we are weak
 We are the heirs
 We are the true heirs to all the world
 ♪
 Let's go build a fire down on the empty beach
 When the waves are crashing high
 White heat, purify
 As the sparks fly up into the great black sky
 Sacrifice these crutches to the crackling flames
 Stand as silhouettes against the dawn
 It's far too late to try to sleep now
 Seems I'm never tired any more
 I want to dance with this fire 'cause it's all that I know
 As the spotlight turns toward me I'll just try my best to show
 We are lost, we are freaks
 We are crippled, we are weak
 We are the true heirs to all the world
 Oh, how we dance with this fire 'cause it's all that we know
 And as the spotlight turns toward us we all try our best to show
 We are lost, we are freaks
 We are crippled, we are weak
 We are lost, we are freaks
 We are crippled, we are weak
 We are lost, we are freaks
 And we try our best to show
 We are lost, we are freaks
 Crippled, weak
 Lost, freaks
 And we try our best to show
 We are lost, we are freaks
