Face Around

Wait by my side wait and see
Many people wouldn’t be dying for that moment to come
Wait by my side wait and see
Somethin’ someone said to me: dying’s where we all should come from

And how do I hold you now?
Do I hit and run – do I walk on by?
Do I not stand out?
And I don’t know how I can make it up
I can live in hope in this midtown jail

Wait by my side wait and see
Protect all the misery right around the corner for sale
Wait by my side wait and see
If your mantra disagrees better if it’s too big to fail

And how do I told you why?
That I can’t relax – that I can’t stand up
That I’m all tapped out and I don’t see how
This is where we live- this is where we die
In this midtown jail

Turn your face around, around
Turn your face around
Turn your thinking inside out
Thinking lost and found
Better than a hole in one
There’s a hole in none
Emptiness is empty does
Empty on the run
Turn your face around

Wait by my side wait for me
Something sold and something free, dying’s where we all should come from
Wait by my side wait for me
If you ever want to be dying for that moment to come

And how do I hold you now?
Do I hit and run – do I walk on by?
Do I not stand out?
And I don’t know how I can make it up
I can live in hope in this midtown jail

Turn your face around, around
Turn your face around
Turn your thinking inside out
Thinking lost and found
Better than a hole in one
There’s a hole in none
Emptiness is empty does
Empty on the run
Turn your face around, around
Turn your face around
Turn your face around
