lyrics

the story goes a prophet from 16th century
got invited to appear on a black and white tv
prophesize the comet, preach the final scenes
the people only clapped and spent another day being here
being free

and i just heard of people
who start the art rock scene
to be taken to the airport and discussed in magazines
boy george on a billboard, madonna as a queen
and no-one seemed to care that they were made up by a team
to work, just to work

seven days of longing
i always seemed to sure
told you all the lies
now they only seem to hurt so bad
all my words …
i promised you the perfect fall
fall

when i was just a boy all the boys gave me beer
everyone went nowhere but the images got clear
i saw johnny on a highway; eli volunteer
to become the second person in a coma for a year
oh boy…

when I just speak of holy
please do understand
I ain’t talking about jesus, I’m just talking ‘bout my friends
take me from the airwaves this is a bad career
seriously talking while no-one ever hears my band

seven days of longing
i always seemed to sure
told you all the lies
now they only seem to hurt so bad
all my words …
i promised you the perfect fall
fall
