lyrics

Twice Every Night

you don't have to wait for answers
with so many questions by the pile
nobody wants to so say so
and let them spread like wildfire
so forget about your feelings
go and lock up all your kids
every day is so grueling when you feel it by the minute

it's your life flashing right before your eyes
and everyday is twice every night
it's a lifetime at light speed
a coming of ages
when I look across the prairie from the chair by the desk
i surf the waves of lonely seas before the table is set
it's my life flashing right before my eyes...

there’s a picture of my family on the day that I was born
i wish I knew that innocence
i wish the buzz would cure the bore
i see the skies at night like unicorns
And the aurora lights are just horizons out of work

it’s their life flashing right before their eyes
and every day is twice every night
it’s a lifetime at light speed
a coming of ages
when I looked across the prairie from the chair by the desk
i surf the waves of lonely seas before the table is set
it’s my life…
