    Lyrics

    This is the last song

    This is the last song I’ll sing for you

    This is the last song

    This is the last song I can give you

    The roaring city sleeps

    Metal fingers clutching dirty sheets

    And no one comes for free

    In this place where the angels sleep

    This is the last song

    My eyes are open wonder to this

    As you hold the secrets

    I count the minutes off so perfectly

    The shards of broken glass

    Sing the strains of a sad old tune

    We’ve made it at last

    But what we had is lost inside our past

    This is the last song

    Could you find away across me

    To forgive and forget me

    To appease and relent me

    To deceive and detect me

    To understand and release me

    To the dawn

    This is the last song

    Lyrics

    Love is a sentimental heart

    Life is a sentimental way

    Spy the fragile heart so cursed

    As he walks across this earth

    I’m disconnected by your smile

    Disconnect a million miles

    And what you promised me

    I hope will set you free

    I’m disconnected by your smile

    And all I gave to you is lost

    And all you took from me is lost

    Black wings carry me so high

    Up to meet you in the sky

    I’m disconnected by your smile

    Disconnect a million miles

    And what you promised me

    I hope will set you free

    I’m disconnected by your smile

    Wishing you were real to me

    Wishing I could make believe

    I’ll take my secrets to the grave

    Safely held beneath the waves

    Always knew I couldn’t save

    Always knew I couldn’t save you

    Lyrics

    A livewire moves slow

    A transformer always knows

    The score is four

    Leaves you hanging on the floor

    For more and less and more of the blame

    And she’s tired

    And she’s sick of the same old shit

    It’s just more of the same old same

    I know she wants more and more and more to witness

    To lay down and bear true

    A cherry onion firefly

    Tastes sweet and white

    As you are blue

    Knows just what she wants to do

    With you below the silver skies

    Don’t hate her because she’s undecided

    And she’s tired

    And she’s sick of the same old shit

    It’s just more of the same old same

    I know she wants more and more and more to stomach

    In honor of her youth

    She’s not sorry she’s happy

    Sorry she’s happy

    She’s not sorry she’s happy

    Sorry she’s happy as a turtle

    She’s a real live transformer

    Lyrics

    Life is so strange when you don’t know
    How can you tell where yore’ going to
    You can’t be sure of any situation
    Something could change and then you won’t know
    Ask yourself
    Where do we go from here
    It seems so all to near
    Just as far beyond as I can see
    I still don’t know what this all means to me
    Tell yourself
    I have nowhere to go
    I don’t know what to do
    And I don’t even know the time of day
    I guess it doesn’t matter any way
    Life is so strange
    Destination unknown
    When you don’t know
    Your destination
    Something could change
    It’s unknown
    And then you won’t know
    Destination unknown
    Life is so strange
    Destination unknown
    When you don’t know
    Your destination
    Something could change
    It’s unknown
    And then you won’t know
    Destination unknown
    You ask yourself
    When will my time come
    Has it all been said and done
    I know I’ll leave when it’s my time to go
    Till then I’ll carry on with what I know
    Life is so strange
    Destination unknown
    When you don’t know
    Your destination
    Something could change
    It’s unknown
    And then you won’t know
    Destination unknown
    Life is so strange
    Destination unknown
    When you don’t know
    Your destination
    And something could change
    It’s unknown
    And then you won’t know
    Destination unknown
    Life is so strange
