Song Lyrics

Under my tongue,
I carry a tune
Deep in the earth,
I can hardly reach

My mind is humming and buzzing,
It's numbing
When I can't
Get it to you

This melody is my carpet ride
'Cross the ocean to you and you
Reaching out to you through this tune
'Round the globe just to get it to you

We've been singing the same song,
For over a thousand years
His death spoke to me,
And her birth sang in perfect harmony

This melody is my carpet ride
'Cross the ocean to you and you
Reaching out to you through this tune
'Round the globe just to get it to you

We've been singing the same song,
For over a thousand years
His death spoke to me,
And her birth sang in perfect harmony

My grave will bring me there,
Deep in the earth,
Singing that same old melody

Before Adam,
Before Eve,
The lizard sang this melody,
Now it's twisted,
And it's torn
Baffy lines and all you bores
Pick a pack, the troops, it's time
We've got melodies to spin
Come on, bring, leaders and men,
We've got some miracles to spin

Ooh, ooh
Ah, ah
Ah, ah

We've been singing the same song,
For over a thousand years
His death spoke to me,
And her birth sang in perfect harmony

My grave will bring me there
Deep in the earth you'll find me
Singing that same, same, same old melody
Same old melody

My grave will bring me there

Ooh, ooh
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
