lyrics

Ambassadors

Gene before I’m darkened soul
Before I’m dead
Before I fall apart all again
Just like you said – I said it I did all right
You turn your days to dreams will the nightmares begin
Let’s fly kites in lightning storms
Triumph in the riot of the soul

I heard my song on the radio
For crying out loud well it’s got to go
The curtain falls I know you know

Sick and tired
Sick of trying
I had no time
Paranoid

I settle down on the cold floor
I settle down in the cold wars
I settle down in the cold wars
Settle down on the cold floor

In the pouring rain

Gene before I’m dark and cold
Before I’m dead
Before we fall into the great divide
Speak our vows in burnt out churches
Fight our fight our dreams of virtues
Play our part the vital signs
Triumph in the trials of the soul

I heard my song on the radio
For crying out loud well you still don’t know
Tend to get confused and adjourn you know

Sick and tired
Sick of trying
I had no time
Paranoid

I settled down on the cold floor
I settled down in the cold fire
I settled down on the cold wars
I settled down on the cold war

Oh Gene we can even breed sentimental uptight pedigrees
Oh Gene we can even breed sentimental uptight pedigrees
Their weight on me it draws from me the soured milk of history
Oh Gene
You draw from me false charity drain from me false history
Oh gene
