We're character actors from the Tower of Babel
  Bewildered, burned out hardly able
  To sit astride the high wire cable
  It's hard to balance, a little unstable.
    Through broken eyes and contact lenses
  (I) Watched you draw your future tenses
  See kisses of flame blow out of your lips
  You're back telling me your Apocalypse.
    Don't get me wrong, I'll be strong
  When the slowburn sunset come along
  You've gotta stay the night
  I gotta think that you might.
    We've tried a handful of bills and a handful of pills
  We've tried making movies from a volume of stills
  (But) the words fell like hailstones,
  bouncing at our feet,
  Covering our feelings with a frozen sheet.
    A chance to move, I take a shot
  I get cold - you get hot
  We look outside, lyin' awake
  See birds breaking surface on a silent lake.
    But don't get me wrong, I'll be strong
  When I'm back on the Isle of Avalon
  Dont get me wrong, I'll be strong
  When the slow burn sunset come along
  You've got to stay the night
  I've got to think that you might.
    Don't try (to) make it easy, it'll cut you down to size
  Darlin' we've got to trust in something
  We're shooting down our skies
  shooting down (shooting down) our skies
  (shooting down our ...)
