lyrics
went for a walk on the wild side
the deconstruction has begun
i saw it coming for a long time from a far
but I was too tired to act
found shelter in the wilderness
the deconstruction in full swing
for a moment we find rest and we forget
but are we ready are we ready yet?
HAND IN HAND TRY TO ESCAPE
ARE WE READY YET?
ARM IN ARM WE FALL A SLEEP
ARE WE READY YET?
SIDE BY SIDE KEEP CROSSING LINES
ARE WE READY YET?
ARE THESE MY HANDS YOUR’RE HOLDING ON TO
DREAMING OF A FORMER LOVE?
is there a guide to get along with the sadness
is there a program to get over the pain
like 30 steps i would take to come clean
the end of loneliness just feels like a dream
so it seems
HAND IN HAND TRY TO ESCAPE
ARE WE READY YET?
ARM IN ARM WE FALL A SLEEP
ARE WE READY YET?
SIDE BY SIDE KEEP CROSSING LINES
ARE WE READY YET?
EYE FOR AN EYE TOOTH FOR A TOOTH
ARE WE READY YET?
HAND IN HAND TRY TO ESCAPE
ARE WE READY YET?
ARM IN ARM WE FALL A SLEEP
ARE WE READY YET?
SIDE BY SIDE KEEP CROSSING LINES
ARE WE READY YET?
ARE THESE MY HANDS YOUR’RE HOLDING ON TO
DREAMING OF A FORMER LOVE
ARE THESE MY HANDS YOUR’RE HOLDING ON TO
DREAMING OF A FORMER LIFE
ARE THESE MY HANDS YOUR’RE HOLDING ON TO
DREAMING OF A FORMER LOVE?
