Lyrics for A Simple Answer
Those saints in Lockstead Across the wasteland Forever gone They'll hum and walk along Plod ever onward Across some tundra The light is long But it's not long before it's gone Well, fine And it calls you back to mind At once, at last Oh goodness, mercy mine Soldier on But please not so long This time Too young and thoughtless To comb your memories I know it's wrong Just give until it's gone Some tired mantra Calls ever onward Shout it loud Just make it up somehow Well alright And it'll call you back to mind At once, at last Oh goodness, mercy mine Soldier on But please not so long This time Move on, let's face That all you trust is a cynical phrase No time, no place When all you hope is that everything breaks No wrong or right Just do whatever you like No wrong or right Just do whatever you like No bliss, no light Tell me it's all just a lie You can't scare me none I'm still a lucky one
