 Send David Gray "Let The Truth Sting" Ringtones to your Cell  The hour is out of joint black sun has risen and the river of words is flowing on through the cages of tradition and they're handing out emptiness we'll take it cos it's given free with this plastic innocence and these standards of living Questions lighted questions burnin' holes into my head hanging like shadows o'er the sun staring out like the eyes of the dead and sometimes my soul flickers when the wind of change blows cold over the mire of repetition down the corridors of rigmarole What I say, what I think what I put down in ink I'm only trying to find a way to understand and I mean no harm I'm just searching for calm in the storm of mankind Do you find it there in the sea of faces that drowns you everyday or in the silence and rubble and empty spaces where children and rottweilers play is it buried in the praise given so cheap with a meaningless movement of the jaws in the looking glass that flatters you or in the rattle of hollow applause Blind circle, moon and sun body willing, mind undone one pain ending while another begins lies, ruin disease into wounds like these let the truth sting From the hub to the limit through the urban hollows out into the poles of the extreme to echo through the numbness of these godless minutes in the shadow of delusion's regime And here watching the night as it opens like a flower and the day starts to rust feeling time pound like a silent hammer on this empire of dust and I'm thinking bout the bullet and the TV screen, the dollar, and the clenched fist and if we're searching for peace how come we still believe in hatred as the catalyst Oh through the borderline in front and behind one pain ending while another begin lies, ruin disease into wounds like these let the truth sing yeah let the truth And I feel it from the pit of my stomach into the ditch of my mind inside the chambers of my heart as I stare half blind at these walls of cardboard at this space that I've rented at your beauty that is crumbling though you try so hard to prevent it On and on body willing, mind undone one pain ending while another begins lies, ruin, disease into wounds like these let the truth sting let the truth sting let the truth sting |

It's All Over
In the bitter violent night the stars wear sour grins in the
vastness of the black sky I'm cradled in your arms unbridled by alarm ....
Birds Without Wings
wishing that something would happen a change in this place 'cos I'm
tearing off the fancy wrapping find an empty package take for a while ....
Living Room
my good friends speak like they did last year last night's just
a blur through a head full of beer my good friends speak like ....
Lead Me Upstairs
I care little for my body she said I couldn't care less
about my soul and as she led me upstairs in whispers my whole ....
Wisdom
time no good wisdom no good patience no good to me anymore
now night has fallen on the stair some things you do you can ....
Gathering Dust
I got no reason but that I must maybe I feel like
I've been gathering dust I must leave this harbour for the sea I'm ....
Let The Truth Sting
The hour is out of joint black sun has risen and the
river of words is flowing on through the cages of tradition and they're ....
Debauchery
Drunken ferry boat woman swayin' on your sea if I turn on
the gasfire by the rain rattled window won't you sail over to me ....
A Century Ends
cast your eyes into the distance try to focus on it all
find a spirit of resistance instead of pride before the fall forge some ....
Shine
I can see it in your eyes what I know in my
heart is true that our love it has faded like the summer run ....
