Letra de Take Back the Instant
Take back the instant When you brushed him off your shirt You tried to drag him to the trash You tried to trade him in for cashTake back the instant When you blew him off your path With a kiss reading twenty below zero Tomorrow is a no-go, a no-goCold, cold moment When the first doubt shot through your head A black ink drip running through your veins Start hello to drift, bringing you sleep painPregnant second Dripping through the hour-glass When the lure of men who would be kings Made you lose the man who was wearing your ringHe didn't match your luscious thoughts tonight You couldn't look him in the eye Awkward is the embrace When it's not tight, not tightAnd so the jewel you once both had Is left crumpled like a collapsed lung When all you had to do Was hang out in the sun, hang out in the sunSir, you feel so dignified Your watch is very ornate But you were just born in the right place Just born into the right raceYou're climbing Mount Everest now Granting wishes from above Favors are yours to give Lies are yours to liveTake back the instants That lead you to believe That the earth shakes 'cause you're not happy And the sun rises 'cause you're not sleepyYou got the loudest parade in town Clowns, assassins and crooks You got ladies in see-through gowns Reading extracts from your booksBeggars should trailing at the back They're waving from the cardboard float You're thinking that from up close Statistics can be such a dragYour cup is full now Blood is the color of this wine And it's dripping from the ceiling And it's making the chandeliers ringAnd the instant the ballroom overflows Your thrones turn into your gallows
