Hey Lu, I'm in love with you And all the crowds They call so loud For hollow clowns And their useless sentiments It's all so bent Who's paying the rent? Aw Paul, why'd you disappear? Was there something ringing in your ear? Or did you just grow tired of tears? Aw Paul, why'd you disappear? Disenchantment is a ruthless bomb But it never stopped Chrissie or Tom You could be something, Anyone! Battle born when the daylight comes And all the crowds They call so loud For hollow clowns And their useless sentiments It's all so bent Who's paying the rent? On a dark lit night In the throes of another fight I heard a song made me feel alright Made me wanna explode into light I don't know if there's more than this A loud guitar, some comfort or a kiss All I know is that it's the shape of a fist And it's pounding inside your ribs Until the wheels come off No matter the hurt or the cost Screaming hope in the land of the lost Oh oh 'till the wheels come off
